FAV Project Update
Methods
Hypothesis
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

P speciation: 3102/3103
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
