Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Coontail and algae explosion

I have always used surfactant with herbicides targeted for surface or submerged nuisance vegetation. After reading the article at the link above i might have to rethink this.

I am normally targeting coontail and bushy pondweed that is just under the surface and grows out into maybe 7-8 feet of water. I use diquat with a little cutrine plus mixed in (added to attack any FA that might be present), and then of course the surfactant.

When the article refers to "submerged" plants i wonder if vegetation a foot or so under the surface is considered too deep?

Give us an opinion on this one if you have it but I am rethinking my technique. Thanks. BM61.
