Protect Your Prized Ponds by Controlling Weeds
While some aquatic plants and weeds are necessary for the healthy fishery, the excess of these can be harmful for the water. Pond weeds are one of the challenging tasks when it comes to protection of water present in lakes and ponds. These are usually grown in high temperature especially in late springs and summers. Uncontrolled situation of these can become a problematic situation and destroy the natural wildlife in the water.
The undesirable wild plants can choke the ponds and it can become frustrating to control the growth of these weeds. With undesirable uncontrolled wild flower growth, it becomes difficult for animals in the water to flourish. Wild plants are mainly submerged weeds like Hydrilla or curly-leaf plant or milfoil or it can be emergent or floating algae. Blanket weed is also a frequent type of these plants which extend very rapidly. Presence of high nitrates and phosphates content in water is generally the main reason for the growth of blanket weed in aquatic body.
The solution to get rid of blanket weed is by removing excess of nitrates from water. Pond Weed Control is imperative and can be achieved by various chemical methods, mechanical methods or with the help of some biological methods.
Herbicides are used in chemical methods of weed control. Chemicals used to remove the same can be utilized on short term. Use of chemicals on deleterious wild plants can keep growth of weeds under control. The use of herbicides has some problems as well associated with this. One of the problems associated with the use of this method is that the herbs and the weeds can become challenging with the gradual course of time. Frequent application of chemicals is required in this approach to get rid off of the undesirable herbs.
Mechanical approach is the other method which can be used for Lake wild flower removal. Harvesting the water body mechanically can curb the nuisance of these wild plants. Manually, the weeds can be removed to restrict their growth in water. Manual method can be applied in small scale targeted area. But for large scale application, water plant harvesters can be employed for pond weed control. Both the chemical and manual methods are required to be used frequently to control the weed growth in the aquatic body.
Under biological methods of weed control, surplus nutrients are removed from the water which is the main reason for the growth of damaging wild aquatic plants. With the addition of some ornamental plants or packaged bacteria in the dew pond the same can be removed from the water body. With the help of ornamental plants and packaged bacteria the extra nutrients from the pond can be consumed and it will lead to control lethal weed growth. Biological methods have been proven to be very effective and thriving method of controlling the growth of weeds in the lake.
Benthic barriers can also be used for the removal of dangerous weeds from the ponds.
