Control Brittle Naiad, Marine Naiad

Manual/ Mechanical Control:

Physically pulling brittle naiad plants and digging up the roots can be an effective method of control. Brittle naiad will re-grow from seeds remaining in the water.

Herbicide Control:

There are multiple options that all offer great control of brittle naiad:

1. Dibrox – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed over the plants, fast-acting
2. Spritflo (for ponds with no outflow) – liquid that is poured into the water and spreads throughout the entire body of water, offers extended control
3. Hydrothol  (for lakes) – granules that are broadcast over the plants, fast-acting
4. Flumigard – granules that are dissolved in water and sprayed (early morning is best) over the plants, fast-acting
