Duckweed Control: Tsunami DQ

09 Sep 2012

Duckweed is an aquatic plant that floats on or just beneath the surface of bodies of water such as ponds.  They are small simple plants, but can be very ugly when many of them take over a pond.  Duckweed control can be a huge problem in ponds, especially in Midwestern states.  Duckweed has an intense reproductive capacity that causes a beautiful pond to be covered in a matter of weeks.  Besides the obvious aesthetic problems that can be caused by the lack of duckweed control, mass amounts of duckweed can also result in the killing of other pond wildlife such as fish.

Sanco knows that Duckweed control is an enormous problem in ponds and that is part of the reason why Sanco created a product named Tsunami DQ.  Tsunami DQ is a pond maintenance product that is equipped to deal with duckweed.  Tsunami DQ is a herbicide that attacks both floating and submerged pond weeds without hindering any other beauties your pond may hold.  To get the best results from Tsunami DQ be sure to know the correct size of your pond so the absolute right amount can be used to destroy pests like duckweed.  Duckweed can also be controlled before it becomes a huge problem by cleaning leaves from your pond before they reach the bottom of the pond.  One other helpful tip to control duckweed is manually removing clumps of duckweed before they have the chance to reproduce.
