Using Chemicals in Pond Management

Chemicals are applied to ponds and lakes to control weeds; to control fish diseases; to eliminate undesirable fish; to control undesirable insects and aquatic invertebrates and to correct undesirable water quality problems. Pond owners are often confused by terminology, units of measure, and formulations. This confusion makes it difficult to select the right chemical, to calculate the proper amount to be applied, and to apply it to the pond in a correct and safe manner.
