Is there any reasonable way to control Giant Sylvinia in duck ponds? It looks like we will lose some ponds if we can't find a way to knock this shite back...

Chemical control on S. molesta is difficult as it does have some resistance to herbicides. The chemical fluridon has been successfully used, but it requires prolonged contact and is not effective if it is suddenly diluted by rainwater or any other influx of water. Other chemicals such as hexazinone and diquat and double-chelated copper are used together to kill S. molesta.[

forget what we used...but we mixed veg oil with it per the recommendation of my FIL. And we knocked the hell out of it.

All the dogs have shiny coats too.....win, win.
