Control Parrot’s Feather

Manual/ Mechanical Control:

Physically raking parrot’s feather and pulling up the roots can be a somewhat successful way to manage this plant. Parrot’s feather can re-grow from roots or fragments that remain.

Herbicide Control:

There are multiple options for controlling parrot’s feather:

1. Dibrox herbicide – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed right on the plants
2. Spritflo (for ponds with no outflow) – liquid that is poured into the pond and spreads throughout the entire body of water
3. 2, 4-D – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed on the weeds
4. Aquathol K – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed on the plants
5. Hydrothol (for lakes) – granules to be broadcast over the plants
