Control Quillworts
Many people ask how to get rid of quillworts. The following options can be considered for how to control quilloworts.
Manual/Mechanical Control:
If you are considering how to remove a quillwort, physically pulling this plant and digging up the roots can be a somewhat effective method of control. However, physical control can be difficult. Quillworts can re-grow from any spores remaining in the water.
Herbicide Control:
We have a few possible options for how to kill quillworts that may offer control.
- Dibrox (for ponds or lakes) – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed over the plants, fast acting.
- Spritflo (for ponds with no outflow) – liquid that is poured and spreads throughout the entire body of water, offers extended control.
- Semera or Flumigard + surfactant (for ponds or lakes) – granules that are dissolved and mixed or liquids that are mixed and diluted with water and sprayed over the plants (early morning is best), fast acting.
Treatment Tips:
When treating quillworts,
- Spritflo can be used at the first signs of growth.
- With other herbicides, treat when the plants are established and actively growing.
- Quillworts are not listed on any of the above herbicide labels, but they are broad spectrum herbicides and will control a wide variety of weeds.
