Hey 2thDoc and all,
Been reading on Naiad invasion as this is happening lots up here this season. Since this post was not updated since May 10th, any new observations?
I read that Naiads are annuals so you can do a draw down but it won't kill them as their seeds remain and they will grow again, and again!
We cannot use grass carps where I am, been thinking of using pond dye, nobody fertilizes in the North-East IMO, and most chemicals are banned in this province also, so what's one to do?
The reason I found my infestation happened I see related to installing a new dock on my 0.35 acre pond and the mallards have suddenly been sitting there each day... I figure they poop lots seeds from other ponds they have been too, and now voila! I got Naiads all over my pond and no algae anymore.
I will dye my pond now, but I am doubtful I will have sucess, I see seeds on their stems all already! Any updates or suggestions welcome!
