Sago Pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) has very fine slender leaves.
Multiple long thin leaves appear bushy beneath the water. When removed
from the water the plant will relax with little or no rigidity.
Q. What are the best control options?
A. Herbicide Application:
Hydrothol
191 Granular is our recommendation. Other
effective herbicides on Sago are Aquathol
Super K granular and Reward
liquid herbicide.
Cutting/Raking:
Sago is so flaccid that it does not cut very
well; raking a small area is preferred. See Water
Weed Rake.
Q. When is the best time to treat?
A. Once water temperatures are around sixty degrees or warmer and
the plants are viable.
Q. How do I actually apply the product(s)?
A. Granular herbicides can be spread by a small Hand
held spreader or can be tossed by a hand scoop.
Q. How often do I need to treat?
A. Generally, there is little regrowth within the same season. Note
that other aquatic species like the Naiad family grow later in the
season that may require a mid to later season treatment to achieve
season long clear water.
Q. How long before I see results?
A. Generally within two weeks things will be cleared up.
