Default livestock pond info wanted

any info on invasive aquatic weed control in livestock ponds would be
most appreciated. specifically, large infestation of duckweed on acre
of water that supports fish and livestock and wildlife


Just toss a few gold fish, or carp into the pond. They aren't going to
bother the livestock, although if you have a lot of run-off from the fields,
the water is going to pick up a lot of nitrates from the urine and manure.

So the pond is going to be constantly green with algae. I suppose you could
constantly dump commercial livestock safe herbicides into the water.
