Aquatic & Pond ManagementAre Weeds Choking Your Pond?
Identify Your Pond Weeds (PDF format)AQUATIC PLANT OVERVIEWA wide range of aquatic plants can be found growing in, on, and around a body of water. Based on various adaptations, some will be found rooted in flowing waters while others can only survive in placid, stagnant areas. Within a natural, well-balanced system, these plants provide food and cover for fish, waterfowl, and aquatic vertebrates. Noxious & Invasive PlantsEradication of noxious plants improves water quality, and enhances habitat. If the abundance of noxious weeds and algae present in Lakes or Ponds are not controlled, excessive amounts of nutrients continue to be released following plant die-off. Noxious plants can became so predominant that native species are unable to survive. Herbicide applications eliminate these noxious plants allowing native species to return. Redding Spray Services can address various methods of removing the invasive plants. As invasive species are removed, a return of the native plant species will ensure essential food sources remain. Healthy Lakes & Ponds are an important environmental asset providing essential habitat for fish, aquatic species, and an abundance of food organisms for all species including migratory waterfowl as well as serving as control of shoreline erosion.
Aquatic Herbicide TreatmentsSonar is an aquatic herbicide developed specifically for the control of aquatic plants. It has been used for a number of years. Sonar has no restrictions on use of the water after application. It has been shown to be successful in controlling and eradicating unwanted plants. Sonar's active ingredient is Fluridone, which is not a chronic poison or a carcinogen. Sonar is selective and controls target weeds slowly. The dilution factor of the product directs which plants will be destroyed. |
