What are the effective control methods for water hyacinth?

Water hyacinth can be controlled by spraying Gramoxone (paraquat), glyphosate, bensulfuron-methyl, or oxadiazon, or by manual salvage. Generally, spraying chemicals pollutes the water quality, so in daily life the manual salvage method is mostly used; the specific method is to manually salvage the water hyacinth once it begins to reproduce or after the chemicals take effect, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

What harm does water hyacinth cause?

1. Before eating or using water hyacinth medicinally, you must make sure the water quality of its growing environment is clean; water hyacinth grown in polluted waters must absolutely not be harvested for consumption.

2. People with digestive system diseases and people with a phlegm-dampness constitution cannot eat water hyacinth.

3. Water hyacinth has a very strong reproductive capacity, and precisely because it is so strong, it covers the entire lake surface, preventing other plants in the water from carrying out photosynthesis, while the animals in the water do not get enough air and food. It cannot maintain the ecological balance in the water. Therefore, when water hyacinth runs rampant, control measures must be carried out.
