  • Patent number: 9137987
    Abstract: Described are preferred solid herbicidal formulations that include one or more herbicides in combination with a solid carrier, as well as methods of manufacture and use thereof. Solid herbicidal formulations are designed to deliver a moderated release of the incorporated load of herbicidal agent(s), for example to enhance uptake by target plants and/or the ability to spatially control a plant population within a body of water that exhibits flow.

  • Publication number: 20120149574
    Abstract: Described are compositions and methods for application to a body of water to manage water quality therein. The compositions and methods involve the use of a combination of aluminum sulfate and copper sulfate formulated for rapid release in the body of water. Simple compositions and facile methods are made available which balance algae control and phosphorous depletion to improve or maintain water quality while not unduly upsetting other chemistries of the body of water.

  • Publication number: 20090325803
    Abstract: Described are preferred methods and compositions for controlling aquatic weeds that involve the use of an herbicidal combination including a first herbicidal agent selected from triclopyr and 2,4-d and at least a second selected herbicidal agent. In preferred methods of the invention, the selected second herbicidal agent can be fluridone, diquat, an ALS inhibitor, or 2,4-d, with the proviso that when the second herbicidal agent is 2,4-d the first herbicidal agent is triclopyr. Preferred herbicidal combinations allow for enhanced control and/or selectivity when treating a body of water to control a target weed population, such as a watermilfoil, curlyleaf pondweed, Brazilian elodea, and/or hydrilla weed population.
