Copper sulfate was combined with Aliquat‐4 to determine if this chemical combination could control pondweeds. These chemicals were applied to a test plot in O'Neill Forebay and carefully monitored since there was a domestic and agricultural water contractor approximately 14 mi down‐stream of the application. This chemical combination appears to provide some pondweed control and can be readily precipitated by bentonite clay.
