Introduction
American lotus, while a beautiful native plant, can quickly become a nuisance when it forms dense mats that block sunlight and hinder recreational activities. A property owner in Kentucky faced this challenge and sought a solution to restore their pond.
Understanding American Lotus
American lotus is a striking aquatic plant with large, floating leaves and showy yellow flowers. However, its rapid growth and dense mats can negatively impact water quality and recreational use.
The Aquatic Control Solution
Aquatic Control implemented a targeted treatment plan using ProcellaCOR EC, a powerful herbicide specifically designed to control aquatic weeds.
Why ProcellaCOR EC?
ProcellaCOR EC offers several advantages:
- Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively targets a wide range of aquatic weeds, including American lotus.
- Flexible Application: Can be applied to both emergent and submerged vegetation.
- Long-lasting Control: Provides long-lasting control, reducing the need for frequent treatments.
- Minimal Environmental Impact: Selectively targets aquatic weeds, minimizing harm to non-target organisms.
The Results
The timely application of ProcellaCOR EC resulted in significant control of the American lotus infestation. The treatment effectively targeted both emergent and submerged vegetation, preventing future growth and restoring the pond to its original beauty.
