The pond infesting weed Parrotfeather is an established weed that by and large developed in shallow subsurface aquatic area all through the United States and numerous different nations. The plant gets its name from because of its appearance which is normally like clusters of leaves that become fuller as the plant develops. The developing part of the plant whirls and gatherings to shape a thick tangle, along these lines the name Parrotfeather.
This potentially invasive weeds development isn’t unreasonable to expect, as it is found in more than 15% of lakes and ponds worldwide. However, Letting Parrotfeather thrive unattended for a considerable length of time can result in for all intents and purposes all regions of the lake being totally overcome and heavily infested. As the old development fades away, it starts to break down which gives supplements to the new sprouts inside the water. Over the top measures of deterioration can prompt oxygen consumption and can negatively affect the lakes whole biological community, especially fish and aquatic life.
Propeller herbicide containing flumioxazin is a perfect choice when managing an abundance of Parotfeather invasion. Propeller is a quick acting contact control herbicide that will eradicate all susceptible weeds when treated following proper instructions. It is generally ideal to apply Propeller well before noon-time, mixing and spraying quickly before PH levels in your water begin to escalate. Light inhibiting aquatic dye’s such as Aquashade should be applied early in the spring if possible, and as needed throughout the year. Follow all directions on container labels to assure maximum light penetration while maintaining a healthy natural appearance.
