Aquatic Weed & Algae Control
Aquatic Vegetation Management is an important element to consider when developing a lake management program. If a body of water is overpopulated with nuisance vegetation, it fails to produce enjoyment, and never becomes the recreational resource it should be. Too many weeds make swimming and other recreational pursuits impossible; and fishing…..well, all you wind up reeling in is a headache.

Pond Liming and Fertilizing
Like a row-crop field needs fertilizing and liming to increase production, so does a fish pond. Fertilizing a pond provides nutrients to the base of the food chain and then has a positive effect all the way up to the bass.
Fertilization can also provide weed control by supporting a large phytoplankton population that blocks out the sunlight from reaching the bottom of the lake. An absence of light reaching the bottom, prevents the establishment of larger, rooted plants. Ponds with existing weed problems should NOT be fertilized since nutrients increase problematic plant growth. Read more >
