EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets (2000 lb Supersack Tote) – Natural Algae Control for Large Ponds & Lakes
Experience natural and effective algae control for your expansive pond or lake with the EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets (2000 lb Supersack Tote). This massive 100% natural treatment utilizes concentrated barley straw to inhibit algae growth and reduce phosphate levels, leading to clearer, healthier water without harsh chemicals.
Key Features & Benefits of EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets:
-
100% Natural Algae Control: Made entirely from concentrated barley straw, offering an eco-friendly and safe alternative to chemical algaecides. As it decomposes, barley straw naturally releases compounds that inhibit the growth of various types of algae, including string algae and green water algae.
-
Fast-Acting & Extended Release: Designed for a relatively fast initial action while providing a steady and extended release of beneficial compounds over time. This ensures prolonged algae suppression, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
-
Large Scale Application: The 2000 lb (Supersack Tote) format is perfect for treating very large ponds, lakes, and other substantial bodies of water, providing a cost-effective solution for significant aquatic management needs.
-
Safe for Aquatic Life & Pets: Completely safe for fish, plants, waterfowl, livestock, and pets when used as directed, making it an ideal choice for ponds with diverse ecosystems.
-
Lowers Phosphate Levels: One of its key benefits is its ability to help lower phosphate levels in the water. Phosphates are a primary nutrient source for algae, so reducing them naturally starves algae, further aiding in control.
-
Enhances Ecosystem Health: By controlling algae and reducing nutrient loads, it contributes to overall water clarity and promotes a healthier, more balanced aquatic environment.
-
Recommended Synergistic Use: Ideal for use in conjunction with EasyPro All Season Bacteria and Phosphate Binder for a comprehensive approach to water quality management, maximizing the effectiveness of each product.
-
Dosage Rate for Phosphate Reduction: For lowering phosphate levels, a recommended dosage is 3-5 pounds per acre-foot of water. (Specific application instructions will be provided with the product for detailed algae control application.)
Ideal for:
-
Owners of large ponds, lakes, and significant water bodies (e.g., golf course ponds, municipal retention ponds, agricultural ponds) seeking natural algae control.
-
Those looking for an alternative to chemical treatments for algae and nutrient reduction.
-
Maintaining clear water and a balanced ecosystem in aquatic environments with fish and wildlife.
-
Commercial and institutional landscape management.
Take control of algae naturally and effectively on a grand scale. The EasyPro Barley Straw Pellets (2000 lb Supersack Tote) provide a powerful, eco-friendly solution for managing water quality in your largest aquatic features.
