Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Cutrine Plus granules application question

Let me start off by saying thank you to everyone here. I've been lurking for about 2 months now and this site is a wealth of information. I live in Michigan and we have a small pond, a little under 1/2 acre. After reading quite a few posts I've decided to use Cutrine Plus granules this year to try and help with my algae problem. My question is about how much should I apply during an application? I'm also wondering about the weight of this product. The place I was going to purchase from has 12lb & 30lb packages. Obviously the 30lb package is cheaper. I'm wondering about how much I would need. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Here is my take on this. Read the package label and I am sure they describe how much to apply. USE common sense. More is not always better. It does not kill real fast be patient. Remove floating mats before treating. Get yourself a good smelt dipping net; it is great for filamentous algae removel; esp the floating mats.. I would buy the 30 lb bag. Sooner or later, you will eventually use all of it. You will always have algae in more or less amounts depending on the current nutrtient levels in the pond.
