Keep golf course ponds clear with powerful weed control

Ponds on your golf course may look pristine from a distance; however, on closer examination, golfers may notice that a pond is overrun with aquatic weeds. In addition to an undesirable appearance of aquatic areas, clogged filtration systems and damaged pump stations are a few problems aquatic weeds can cause in golf course ponds. Applying an aquatic herbicide can be the most efficient use of time and budget to keep ponds clear from unwanted floating, submerged and marginal weeds.

Herbicide options for lawn care

A weed can be defined simply as a plant growing where it’s not wanted. An agronomic view would add that weeds compete for water, light and space with desirable plants, and can harbor diseases and insects.

Using PGRs in overseeded bermudagrass

To establish a winter playing surface, bermudagrass golf courses are overseeded in early fall with perennial ryegrass (and Poa trivialis on greens). At the typical overseeding time, growing conditions are still favorable for bermudagrass development.
