Objective:

  • Determine impact of FAV suppression on P

concentrations/ loads and Sediment properties. The two management practices Control: FAV cover is managed by the growers and is representative of typical FAV control practices in the region. Treatment: Aggressive control of FAV through spot spraying with approved aquatic herbicide as to keep farm canals at

  • r below 25% vegetation coverage.

Sediment Properties

  • Total P in

sediments was higher in 4701- high FAV growth

  • Bulk Density (BD)
  • f sediments

was higher in 4702 (T), meaning the generation of heavier sediments

Summary:

  • Drainage is often the dominant variable for UAL
  • Two farm pairs showed impact of controlling FAV
  • Each farm had site specific properties that

influenced P concentrations and loads.

  • Recommendation is farm specific for impact of

managing FAV on water quality.
