Only small colonies of EWM. No herbicide control strategies proposed for 2015.
Signs point to successful treatment of EWM on Kentuck Lake in 2013. Post-treatment assessments found little EWM in treated areas. Monitoring for EWM will continue in 2014.
Kentuck Lake has an area of 957 acres, maximum depth of 40 ft, and a mean depth of 9.2 ft. On 3 June 2013, two areas (A-13 and B-13) totaling 17 acres (Figure 1) were treated with a liquid formulation of 2,4-D to control Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). On 5 June 2013, one area (C-13) totaling 1.6 acres was treated with a granular formulation of 2,4-D to control Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum).
