Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Mechanical Removal of FA

Few options come to mind:

Stocking Tilapia for such a small BOW they could easily manage the FA if legal in MO.

Aeration can also help manage FA by helping pond process excess nutrients introducing aerobic bacteria to pond bottom.

Crayfish can help manage vegetation of all types, including FA. I have a pond devoid of vegetation due to crayfish population density.

Manual removal of FA I perform by simply raking it in the few places it grows. It's tiring work I agree, but have not had to use any algaecides on my ponds to date.

Hope some of this helps.
