Aquatic Vegetation Management (Pond Weeds)

aquatic vegetation management pond weeds

Aquatic vegetation management can be a perplexing problem. The first part of that problem is proper identification. Management of most aquatic plant species depends on properly identifying the desirable or nuisance plant. Many ponds have more than one type of aquatic plant, and care must be taken to identify all the aquatic plants inhabiting the pond. Some pond plants may be beneficial to local or migratory wildlife, and therefore, may want to be encouraged or at least not eliminated.

Need assistance with wildlife and fish management on your ranch, backyard, or pond? Simply call your local County Extension Agent.
