Shore-Klear - Aquatic herbicide - for emergent aquatic weeds and brush in aquatic and other noncrop sites. Similar to Roundup in the way that it controls vegetation.

$38.50/gal.

Copper Sulfate - a very effective at controlling algae. There are no water use restrictions. Application rates may vary according to water temperature. May also control some types of parasites commonly found in freshwater. We recommend mixing with water and spraying on the surface where control is desired.

15 lb. $48.50

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:

	Immediate Algae Control
	Environmentally Safe Chemistry
	Reduced Toxicity to Fish, Birds and Animals
	No Mutational Resistance
	EPA Registered
	NSF/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:

	Algae control for commercial waterways, ponds, lakes conveyance canals, and reservoirs
	Water and waste water applications to reduce BOD, COD, and odors
	Hard surface treatments of building structures, rooftops, walkways to control all types of molds, algae, slime molds and bacteria.
	20 lb bucket Green Clean $59.00
	50 lb Bag Green Clean Pro $149.00

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 50^oF, 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 68^oF. 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

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. If Bales are packed too tightly it will prevent adequate water movement through the straw.
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.

BACTERIAL BLEND for PONDS

The Fin Farms Bacterial Blend for Ponds is not an algaecide, but rather a proprietary blend of natural microbes that maintain clean and clear ponds without the harmful side effects that chemical applications can produce. Algae forms on ponds as a result of an over abundance of nutrients, organic decay and fertilizer run off. Our Bacterial Blend consumes these nutrients essentially treating the cause, not the effect of pond maintenance problems. Our blend of bacteria is safe for humans, animals, fish and aquatic life. Its use does not require EPA registration nor does it require an applicator's license. However, if your pond is used as a drinking water source it must be filtered and disinfected in accordance with state and local drinking water regulations.

Our special blend of bacteria are designed to reduce sludge build-up; improve water clarity; eliminate excess nutrients; eliminate pond odors; control algae and reduce oxygen demand. Our blend, made by Novozymes the worlds largest bioremediation company, contains various strains of bacteria with a count of 5 billion cells/gram. Bulk or water soluble packs available.
