Dealing With Lake Weeds
from: Lawn and Garden MagicLet's face it, weeds basically grow everywhere not just in gardens but they also grow in bodies of water with surfaces that are usually stagnant. Of course, these are lake weeds, primarily those green, grass-like plants that swarm lakes in great numbers and are capable of rapidly taking it over.
You may not realize it, but lake weeds are dangerous to aquatic life since they steal essential nutrients from those plants that are beneficial to the water system. There are also lake weeds that are poisonous to smaller fishes, but the most glaring problem with this weed type of weed is how unsightly they make the lake appear.
The repercussions go even deeper because of all the perils lake weeds bring to the system, the lake's ecosystem suffers terriblly as well. Balance is disturbed and the consequences can be nasty. Beneficial plants dwindle in large numbers and small fishes have nothing to feed on are gradually wiped out. Larger fishes therefore have nothing to prey on, and will also be obliterated from the lake.
The result is a dead lake devoid of growth other than weeds -- a moroseness to the immediate environment. Not a pretty sight.
Aquatic weeds can also dangerous for humans who use the lake for a variety of purposes by tangling with rotor blades of a boat's motor. In addition, they can become a breeding ground of dangerous animals including water snakes, mosquitoes etc. These weeds, along with decimating the aquatic population, can eliminate the financial prospects of fishermen, hunting guides, aquaculture harvesters etc.
Thus it's important to take action about weeds that grow in lakes. There's the manual approach of hand pulling the weeds from the water, but with the buoyancy of the water and the difficult positions required for the task, this isn't an efficient strategy.
A better plan is to use herbicides to eliminate these weeds. There are herbicides specially formulated to kill water weeds, that don't harm other plants or fish. This has become the most efficient method for curtailing the growth and eliminating the presence of unwanted weeds.
