Before you go off chopping every single aquatic plant you see, you should know that not all aquatic plants are unwanted. Visit this presentation and know more about unwanted aquatic plants and how to remove it from your lake and ponds.
2. Lakes offer a place of comfort for those who want to
take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This
body of water does a great job in reflecting the beauty
of nature, and it provides a great view for those who
want to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset. It’s also an
excellent venue for human activities such as
swimming, fishing, and boating. The only problem with
lakes or ponds is that it’s also where aquatic plants
grow.
3. Wanted and Unwanted Aquatic Plants
Now before you go off chopping every single aquatic
plant you see, you should know that not all aquatic
plants are unwanted. These plants provide shelter and
food for both aquatic and semi-aquatic animals so you
need to think twice before removing all of them.
4. Wanted and Unwanted Aquatic Plants
Aquatic Plants also make great subjects for
photographs because of their attractive colors,
especially when they’re placed beside each other.
The only time that these aquatic plants become
unwanted is when there’s too many of them in the
pond or the lake.
When they form miniature islands and when they
hinder human activities because they’ve covered
more than 70% of the lake and when you get
tangled in their roots.
5. Weed Removal
Private owners of lakes and ponds have different weed
cutting methods:
o Some try to stick to traditional weed removal methods
like harvesting, where they pull out unwanted aquatic
plants such as hydrilla, cattail, water hyacinth, cattail,
lily pads, and weeds one by one.
o This would have been an ideal weed cutting method
since it does not make use of chemicals, but it takes
an awfully long time to get the job done since it’s
labor intensive and it becomes difficult to remove
weed from the deep portions of the lake.
6. Weed Removal
Aquatic herbicides present a faster solution, but since
it contains chemicals that also kills other living
organisms in the lake, it was immediately dismissed
as an option. All hope would have been lost for lake
and pond owners but the universe conspired and
created equipment that makes weed control for lakes
a piece of cake.
7. Jenson Lake Mower
Jenson Technologies Development Corporation from San
Marcos, Texas, noticed the problems that lake or pond
owners have. To provide solutions to these issues, they
came up with the Jenson Lake Mower and the Jenson Rake
– weed control machines that can effectively get rid of
unwanted aquatic plants in a short span of time.
8. Jenson Lake Mower
Jenson Lake Mower and Jenson Rake both can be
attached to the edge of a boat, giving anybody the freedom
to move around the lake and enjoy the view as the Jenson
Lake Mower cuts weed underwater. It reaches down to the
deep parts of the lake, making it impossible for these
weeds to come back again next season.
Since the effects are long lasting despite the absence of
chemicals, it’s become an instant favorite of lake owners
from different parts of the world. It’s effective in removing
weeds, making human activities in the lake enjoyable
again.
