Eurasian
Watermilfoil is an introduced species and is considered extremely problematic.
It rapidly spreads by fragmentation and has potential to take over bodies
of water especially since the vegetative growth is concentrated near
the water’s surface. It has a tendency to shade out other more beneficial
aquatic plants. It has long flexible stems with the leaves concentrated
toward the upper ends, especially in turbid water. Actively growing portions
of the plants often have a red coloration. The leaves are usually bright
to dark green, in whorls of 4, up 1 inch in length. The flowers are on
a long flowering stems above the water surface. Eurasian watermilfoil
can be controlled with Sonar AS, Reward and Navigate Granular Herbicide.
