Emergent Weed Control
This group of weeds includes those growing along the margin of the pond as well as in other shallow waters. Their stems and leaves protrude above the water surface. Examples are cattails (Typha), bulrushes (Scirpus), arrowhead (Sagittaria), and spatterdock (Nuphar). Some, especially cattails, may spread rapidly by growth of underwater stems and may reach depths of three feet or more.

Constructing the pond properly to maintain as little shallow water as possible is the best control for these weeds. If you have shallow water, these weeds will turn your pond into a marsh unless they are controlled. Emergent weeds, especially cattails, are a preferred food of muskrats, which may result in the use of shorelines protected by cattails and other emergent weeds for their burrows. Mechanical deepening of shallow areas will reduce these problems. Control also can be achieved by cutting and pulling emergents if this practice is started soon after they appear. There are also several herbicides labeled for the control of emergent aquatic weeds. Each aquatic herbicide has complete instructions for its use on the package label. Read and follow label directions carefully.
In our opinion, the most natural and effective way of controlling emergent aquatic weeds is the combination of our pond bacteria and an aeration system.
