Blog Post — Herbicide Treatment Update
This spring there were two treatments to address water quality in Como Lake, an herbicide treatment and an alum treatment. The first was an application of the herbicide Fluridone to combat an invasive aquatic plant called curly-leaf pondweed. It was first observed in the early-1990s and has come to dominate 90% of the plant community in the lake. It was likely introduced by a boat, boot treads, or aquarium plants. Curly-leaf pondweed thrives in murky water. The conditions in Como Lake are just right to allow for the plant to be highly successful and out-compete native species. Controlling curly-leaf pondweed is critical for restoring balance in Como Lake.
