i put cutrine plus in my backpack sprayer and sprayed everything i could, including what was floating and around the edge. i was only able to spray about 1/2 of the edge. the other side is steep and wooded. my fa is gone!!! i used 1/2 gallon of concentrate.

When did you spray it? I sprayed about 4 days ago an one side of my pond but I haven't been back to check and see if it worked. How much cutrine did you use per gal in you sprayer.

it has been about a week, but it was gone in a few days. i put 1/2 gallon in about 4 gallons of water. i have a Stihl brand sprayer, i think it holds 5 gallons and it wasnt to the top. i think they recommend 9 to 1 ratio. i was getting clumps floating every where. now it is hard to even find a piece at all. i was surprised because i didnt spray even half of the stuff floating, just because i couldnt reach it. but it got it all..
i was worried about using dissolved copper, i didnt want it to kill my plankton..but water color hasnt changed. i havent fertilized yet either.

Yeah I sprayed mine with a solo back pack sprayer and tried spray all I could. I mixed it at 8 oz. per gallon of water. I will have to go to the pond tommorow and check it. everyone said that it comes and goes in spells and it would go away when it got hot this summer but im like you, There were clumps of it floating all over the pond and it looked awful. Not to mention how aggervating it is to fish through.

I'm glad the Cutrine Plus worked for you Scott. It's good stuff. As is Reward. The Reward/Cutrine Plus mix really got my pond weed situation under control.

I love using reward around the pond. it kills almost anything and usually does its work in less than 24 hours.
