If you seek a permanent solution for eradicating water hyacinth and ready to invest 6 months... then here's a herbal solution. Its ancient Indian science.
Eradication Of EICHORNIA (Water Hyacinth)
Most water bodies in India have been taken over by a plant species popularly called Water Hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes). When not controlled, water hyacinth covers lakes and ponds entirely, with its environmental invasiveness. This chokes waterways, dramatically impacts water flow, blocks sunlight from reaching other aquatic plants, and starves the water of oxygen, often killing the fish, frogs, turtles and other aquatic animals. The plants also create a prime habitat for mosquitoes. This species has rapidly spread throughout inland and coastal freshwater bays, lakes, and marshes and are a major hindrance to navigation as well..
PHYTOCIDE-90 is a neem oil-based organic formulation that acts as a weedicide and herbicide. The active ingredient is Azadirachtin. It is food grade, non-toxic and safe for humans, animals and regular plants while being tough on weeds and harmful herbs. It kills the plants not through toxicity but by absorbing chlorophyll in the leaves and stems. Without chlorophyll, the plants cannot manufacture their own food and as a result, the tend to wither and die. This makes PHYTOCIDE extremely safe for human beings and aquatic creatures like fishes, frogs, tadpoles, etc. The safety of this reagent places it in a class above conventional inorganic weedicides, which are normally corrosive and extremely harmful to humans and animal life.
