I have sprayed algaecide a couple times in the last 3 months and this stuff has started to take over. Makes fishing very difficult.

Spraying them every 2 weeks with Cutrine Plus will work. The plant in your hand looks like bushy pondweed. Reward/Tribune, Aquathol K/Aquathol Super K, Hydrothol 191 (can be toxic to fish if used or applied improperly), or Fluridone (Sonar A.S.) all will work on that. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

The algae has greatly diminished but the pondweed remains. Should what I have work on it eventually or should I just go ahead and order one of the herbicides you suggested?

What rate did you apply the Diquat? www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

Because I don't know things lol, I will get one for this application "What rate did you apply the Diquat?" I realized that this was my problem soon after I posted my question. Through my google research I learned that aquatic applications require much more per gallon of water than land applications. I just sprayed again and at the correct rate this time Forgive my ignorance, I'm still new to all this stuff haha. I really appreciate the people in this forum for being so helpful and nice, especially to newbs like me.

That's one of the reasons why they put such detailed labels on the herbicides. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

Another way of asking the same question, how long before you worked to remove the dead plants? Thanks.
