Aquatic Plant Control Program


Book Description

Detailed studies are reported on the practical use of 2,4-D for control of water hyacinth; criteria for registration; toxicology, persistence, and mobility of phenoxy herbicides; herbicide residue; dissipation of 2,4-D in potable water resources; and integrated control of water hyacinth and alligator weed.













Aquatic Plant Control Program


Book Description

The use of herbicides coordinated with insect-feeding damage as a method for alligator weed management is discussed. Detailed studies on the integrated control method include the details of the research program relating to an integrated approach, the effects of water quality on the distribution of alligator weed and water hyacinth, the effects of water hardness on herbicide toxicity, and the evaluation of promising herbicides for the control of alligator weed and water lettuce. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.










Weed Control Methods for River Basin Management


Book Description

Aquatic plants continue to create problems associated with navigation, flood control, agriculture, irrigation and drainage, values of lands, conservation of wildlife and fisheries, and water resource supply. While much research is being done to find more effective and economic control measures, there is now a great need to apply known facts to achieve a measure of control by the means available. It is the purpose of this volume to provide a scientifically documented treatise of the known facts as they apply to the control of aquatic weeds in river basins and their allied waterways with particular emphasis on alligator weed and water hyacinth.
