Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Coon tail control

I have had two ponds for the last 10 years. Always surprised on how much they change from year to year. Because of the low water conditions I not have an over grown Coontail situation.
Having some very large bass in these ponds I am very skeptical
about trying to control it with herbisides. I tried the rake but there is just to much in these 3 acre ponds to deal with.
I know it is good to treat in warm weather and in small doses.
Can anyone recommend a specific brand and application knowledge?

Aquathol K at 1.9 gals/acre foot (3 ppm) and I'd treat half of the pond (1.5 acres). Treating a smaller area than this will probably result in little to no control and depending on plant density I'd be hesitant to treat more area than that. Treating a band around the pond should control stuff in the nearshore and dispersion should have some impact on the offshore stuff. Probably have to make a second application to pick up what's left. Don't skimp on the rate either. Coontail is a little harder to kill.
