Golf Course Pond Management
in a Safe and Natural Way
Golf course ponds can quickly become a major concern for superintendents without deft management. The ponds that were designed to enhance aesthetics or aid in water management can rapidly become overwhelmed with harmful algae blooms (HABs) and aquatic plants. Fertilizer, grass clippings, leaves, and runoff all contribute to the eventual growth of aquatic vegetation. Excessive aquatic plant growth or intense algae blooms can occur abruptly after years without issues.
PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HABs AND AQUATIC PLANTS:
- Clogged irrigation pipes
- Treatment with chemicals can damage turf
- Toxic to golfers and wildlife
- Foul odors and fish kills
White dots of fertilizer end up in the pond and promote aquatic vegetation
A proactive approach can save time and money treating algae and aquatic plants. A golf course pond management plan utilizing Natural Lake Biosciences probiotics and biocatalysts improves water quality and reduces excess nutrients before they saturate the pond. Our all-natural products keep the water body safe and sparkling clean.
