Plant Identification -- Floating Plants -- Pennywort |
WATER PENNYWORT (Hydrocotyle spp.)
Treatment Tips: Some species will grow on the shoreline. These may also require treatment to prevent their breaking loose and re-establishing in new areas. Floating mats of these plants are also common.
Description: Mature leaves round with broad lobes. Leaves about the size of a half dollar. Stalks extend from a horizontal root buried in shallow water and are attached centrally to the leaf.
Distribution: Common throughout the United States, but seldom reaching nuisance levels. |
Recommended Control Method: For areas less than 1 acre, tank mix 1 part Cutrine-Plus to 10 parts Weedtrine-D and apply at the rate of 70 to 95 ounces per 1/5 acre.
*OR
For areas in excess of 1 acre, tank mix 1 part Cutrine-Plus to 2 parts Reward and apply at the rate of 3/4 gallon per surface acre.
**Dilute to facilitate even distribution. Add non-ionic surfactant. Spray to saturate foliage.
|
Alternate Control Methods: Reward: 3/4 gallon per surface acre plus non-ionic surfactant.
