No, only the amount of herbicide needed to adequately control aquatic weeds is allowed for use. The department spends less money for the control of water-hyacinth and water-lettuce each year due to the success of the department’s maintenance control program, and far less herbicide is used to control hydrilla than was formerly used. Because large floating mats of weeds are not allowed to build-up, less chemicals are used and less muck is deposited on the bottoms of our water bodies.
