Aquatic weed control has in recent years developed into one of the most important phases of farm pond management in Georgia. Properly constructed ponds with adequate fertilization which were chemically treated four years ago show no reinfestation at this time. On the other hand, in experimental ponds which were not properly fertilized the results of chemical weed control were of extremely short duration. The more frequently used herbicides, Sodium arsenite, 2,4-D (ester and amines), 2,4-D-2,4,5-T combinations, and Copper sulphate are considered with regard to methods of application, cost of treatments, effectiveness on different plant species and duration of successful weed elimination. Sodium arsenite was found universally effective in the control of most submerged aquatic plant species. However, its toxicity to warm blooded animals and the caution necessary in its application and handling restrict its use to experienced technicians.
