The final report for the AIS control grant received by the Church Pine, Round and Big Lakes Protection and Rehabilitation District.
On April 22, 2016 13.75 acres of Potamogeton crispus-curly leaf pondweed (CLP) were treated with the herbicide endothall at a target concentration of 1.5-2.5 ppm. The water temperature at the time of treatment was between 50 and 60 degrees F. A pretreatment survey was conducted on April 18 and a post treatment survey was conducted on June 6, 2015. A chi-square analysis was used to determine the significance of any reductions in frequency of occurrence. The frequency of occurrence from the pretreatment to the post treatment survey showed a statistically significant reduction (from 56.25% to 3.1%). A comparison of the post treatment survey of 2015 and the post treatment survey of 2016 showed a slight decrease from 4.8% to 3.1% which was not significant. Comparing the pretreatment survey of 2015 to the pretreatment survey of 2016 showed a statistically significant (chi-square) decrease from 79.8% in 2015 to 56.25% in 2016. A chi-square analysis revealed no statistically significant reduction in any native plant species. A turion analysis was conducted in October 2016 and resulted in a decrease in all beds combined compared to the 2015 density.
