Controlling invasive aquatic species with ProcellaCOR on Big Pine Island Lake, Kent County, MI

views comments

Evaluation of a new herbicide, "ProcellaCOR", for controlling invasive aquatic plants, specifically Eurasian watermilfoil. Two different treatment combinations were used during this case study. One large section of shoreline was treated with only ProcellaCOR and several other areas of the lake were treated with a combination of ProcellaCOR (low dose) and Tribune (Diquat) herbicides. Several aspects of this case study will be documented via pre- and post-survey efforts; control of Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM), impacts on curly-leaf pondweed, native plant response and duration of EWM control. Progressive AE and PLM Lake & Land Management Corp are jointly implementing/presenting this evaluation treatment on Big Pine Island Lake, Kent County, MI. Brief field operation videos will be included in this presentation.
