ALGAECIDES

Algae is by far the most common problem for pond owners.  Often times pond owners try to rake or pull the algae from their ponds only to have it come back in a few days.  Chemical control is the best way to control algae.  Algae controls come in both liquid and granular form.  Liquid products should be used when the algae is floating on the surface or in shallow water (up to 3' or 4' deep).  Granular products should be used in deeper water and for bottom growing algae and chara.

CUTRINE PLUS LIQUID is a chelated copper algaecide that stays active and is safer to use than copper sulfate.  Use liquid Cutrine for surface or suspended algae.  Dosage rates: 0.6 to 1.2 gallons per acre.  No water restrictions.  Apply by sprayer to surface.  For best results use activator with Cutrine.  Stocktrine is diluted algaecide for use in garden pools, stock tanks and other small bodies of water where fish are not present.

CUTRINE PLUS GRANULAR is the granular form of Cutrine and is recommended for bottom growing algae and chara.  Dosage is 60 pounds per acre.  No water restrictions.

K-TEA is also chelated copper.  This product is similar to Cutrine, but has an 8% copper base instead of 9% like Cutrine.  Available only in 2.5 gallon jugs.  No water restrictions.  Dosage rate: 0.07 to 2.9 gallons per acre.

GREENCLEAN granular is an EPA registered, non-copper algaecide that works on contact to control a broad spectrum of algae.  GreenClean is completely biodegradable unlike copper based products which leave a heavy metal residue in the soil.
