Control Salvinia

Manual/ Mechanical Control:

Physically raking salvinia from the water can be an effective method of control. It will re-grow from any fragments that remain.

Herbicide Control:

There are a few options to treat salvinia:

1. Spritflo (for ponds with no outflow) – liquid that is poured into the pond and spreads throughout the entire body of water, offers extended control
2. Semera or Flumigard (with surfactant) – granules that are dissolved or liquid that is diluted in water and sprayed directly over the plants (early morning is best), fast-acting
3. Cattail and Water Lily Control (Imox and surfactant) – liquids that are diluted with water and sprayed over the plants
