Charly Greenthaler Water Resources
Are you a pond owner who always seems to struggle with algae or other aquatic weeds? It can seem like an ongoing battle each year that rears its head at the first sign of warm weather. Fortunately, there are strategies you can employ to help manage aggressive plant growth! Step one is always IDENTIFICATION! With a correct ID of the species(s), your local Extension agent can help match management strategies for you!
To learn more about seasonal strategies for pond management, check out Clemson’s Seasonal Pond Management Online Course.
Also, make sure to check out the new Harmful Algal Blooms Online Course, to help better understand how to recognize, prevent, and treat these algal blooms that can often interfere with water use and pose potential harm to people, pets, livestock, and wildlife.
Lastly, a Pond Management Workshop will be held on April 2nd at Sandhill Rec as a part of the SC New and Beginning Farmer Program Advanced Workshop Series! Click here for more information or to register.
