Second Blanketweed Control Trials using Viresco reported By "Koi Ponds & Gardens", August 2001
During 2001, Brooksby College, the well know aquacultural college in
Leicestershire were asked to undertake some blanket weed trials by "Koi Ponds &
Gardens" magazine. The results were published in the August 2001 issue of "The
Koi Ponds and Gardens" magazine under the feature entitled "Beat the weed".
Six blanket weed control products were tested. Two were electromagnetic, one was a water purifier with a copper releasing cartridge, another was a water colorant and two of the products were microbial in nature. The product brands that were compared were: Pondweeder | Water King | Aquastar | Nishicare | Kusuri Eco-Pure | Viresco Koi
14 vats containing blanket weed were set up and each product was tested in 2 vats. The final 2 vats were used as control. 2 weeks after initial treatment, the weight of the blanket weed in each vat was checked and results concluded.

No More Blanket Weed, The End of String Algae Ever since I created my first website about pond keeping some 4 years ago one of the most frequently asked question has been ... "Can you please tell me how I can get rid of the blanket weed in my pond?" And sadly my answer was always the same ... Sorry, wish I knew. Now (thanks to John McLauchlan) we all know.
