Advantages of physical removal
- Removes extra nutrients caused by the breakdown of rotting vegetation thereby reducing the likelihood of future outbreaks.
- A dense coverage consumes a lot of oxygen leaving little left for fish and other aquatic organisms. Avoids fish kills by ensuring adequate oxygen levels remain.
- Removes habitat for breeding mosquitoes.
Adds Advantage to Spray Treatments
- Combining physical removal with an aquatic herbicide treatment can greatly increase the effectiveness of any weed-killers you’re using.
- Easy to use
- Ecologically benign alternative to traditional herbicide treatments
- Specifically designed for Duckweeds
