    Q
    Have 3 acre area only 3-4 ft depth how much to kill pond and duck weed plus algae
    A
     Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide Best to be applied on a sunny and calm morning. Spread granules over water area, 30 lbs of Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide per .5 acres, 60 lb per surface acre or 1 lb. per 720 square feet. Broadcast by hand or using a dry fertilizer spreader. Copper will be released over time to provide control in flowing water situations. Water treated with CUTRINE PLUS GRANULAR ALGAECIDE may be used for swimming, fishing, drinking water treatment, livestock watering or irrigating turf, ornamental plants or crops following treatment. For controlling Chara, treat in spring and summer or whenever weed is soft. One application should be plenty to control Chara for the whole season. Filamentous algae will often need re treatments to control. Start early, when temperatures are 60 degrees F and higher in the spring. Control will last for weeks to months and re-treatments may be necessary. Please wait 1 - 2 weeks between treating. See product label for specific details.

    Q

    A

    Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide is not labeled for use inside of drinking wells. According to the manufacturer, if the product is used in a pond/lake/stream, exactly as the label states, the water out of the pond can be safely consumed. However, this product is not labeled for use inside of wells.

    Q
    Does Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide kill string algae?
    A

    The Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide is not labeled specifically to treat string algae so we cannot say if it would be effective on treatments for it or not. We do carry a product called Crystal Blue Copper Sulfate which is labeled for string algae control. We also found this article online that goes over the best methods for eliminating and preventing string algae in your pond in the future: Controlling String Algae

    Q
    Will Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide kill a grass that is growing along the edge of my pond?
    A

    Cutrine Plus Granular Algaecide is not labeled to control grasses or other weeds or for terrestrial use. We recommend getting the grassy weed you have growing at the edge of the pond identified to find out if Cutrine Plus would be an option, or if you're in need of an aquatic herbicide. AquaPlant is an excellent online guide for assistance with identifying and treating aquatic weeds and algaes.
