Green Clean PRO Granular Algaecide

 
Green Clean PRO is an alternative to algaecides that utilize either copper or synthetic chemicals as their active ingredients.

Green Clean PRO is a granular activated peroxygen product that inactivates planktonic and filamentous algae on contact. Through the power of oxidation, the treated algae die within hours of being treated. You can actually see it working as your apply Green Clean PRO to the algae.

Benefits include:

bulletImmediate Algae Control
bulletEnvironmentally Safe Chemistry
bulletReduced Toxicity to Fish, Birds and Animals
bulletNo Mutational Resistance
bulletEPA Registered
bulletNSF/ANSI Standard 60 Certified for Drinking Water Applications

Green Clean PRO has commercial applications where the use of products containing heavy metals or toxic compounds is a concern to the environment.

These applications can and do include:

bulletAlgae control for commercial waterways, ponds, lakes conveyance canals, and reservoirs
bulletWater and waste water applications to reduce BOD, COD, and odors
bulletHard surface treatments of building structures, rooftops, walkways to control all types of molds, algae, slime molds and bacteria.

Barley Straw $7.50/BAG

When to Apply the Straw

The decomposition process is temperature dependent and occurs faster in warmer water. When the water temperature is below 50oF, it takes approximately six to eight weeks for the decomposing of the straw.  However, it only takes one to two weeks when the water temperature is above 68oF. Therefore, straw should be applied in mid-late April, and again in late July, in order to help clarify water in Ohio ponds and lakes.

How to Apply the Straw

  1.  Bales are packed too tightly and do not allow adequate water movement through the straw.
  2. The loose straw should be placed in some form of netting.. Loose woven sacks (e.g., onion sacks) can be used in small ponds that require low doses.
  3. Use floats to suspend the straw-filled netting in the upper 3 to 4 feet of the pond. The straw will lose its effectiveness if it sinks below this depth. Water movement near the surface will keep the straw well oxygenated . Therefore, it is recommended that floats be inserted inside the netting at the same time the netting is filled with straw. The netting is then anchored into place using rope attached to bricks or concrete-filled buckets.

Where to Apply the Straw

 Place each net of straw roughly equal distance around the shore. The placement of the nets does not need to be exact and practical considerations such as corridors for swimming and angling may influence the location of the nets. In small ponds where only one net of straw is required, place the net of straw in the center of the water body.

We have locally grown barley straw available. We package it in 5-7 lb bags. It is priced at $7.50 per bag. Normally it is used at the rate of 4 bags per 1/4 acre twice per year.
