I've had the local expert in here several times for identification and treatment and he has not had success in knocking the stuff down. I believe he tried the Aquathol K but told me that he was not happy with the results and wouldn't waste the money again. The last I heard, he was waiting on some feedback from Aquatic Control out of Seymour on some test ponds that they had.

The stuff has almost taken over the pond. In fact, the last time he was out here, he had trouble even getting his outboard through things to perform the treatment.

One option we have discussed is trying to treat earlier before the plants reach maturity. I had tried to get him out early in the season but we could not get our schedules aligned.

The way things are at the moment, we probably have better than 80% coverage where as the biologists say the ideal is in the range of 20% for pond vegetation.
