Salvinia Control In Duck Ponds
As we approach alligator season and waterfowl seasons in coastal La., many sportsmen may find their mud boat ditches and duck ponds completely covered with either giant or common salvinia. These are invasive pest plants that originally come from Argentina.[SIZE=2][SIZE=3]Control can be achieved using approved aquatic weed herbicides if they are applied correctly. That will be the focus of the educational meeting presented by the LSU AgCenter on Thursday evening, August 22, 2013 at the Rice Station in Crowley. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.mDr. Dearl Sanders, LSU AgCenter Herbicide Specialist, will be the guest speaker and will cover a variety topics concerning salvinia control and other aquatic weed management (cattail, cutgrass, Roseau cane) in the marsh. For more information contact Mark Shirley in Abbeville at (337)898-4335 The meeting is free and open to the public.
