Duckweed creates an anaerobic environment. When it comes to wastewater lagoons, the lack of dissolved oxygen is bad. (Read our previous article, Troubleshooting Low Lagoon Dissolved Oxygen, for an in-depth look.) Duckweed is a DO killer, blocking the oxygen-transferring interface between the surface of the lagoon and the atmosphere.
Learning how to kill duckweed and preventing its buildup can keep your pond clear, unobstructed and help maintain a good environment for aquatic fish and plants. Aeration that reaches the bottom of the pond can disrupt the cycle of sediment buildup which encourages conditions appropriate for duckweed growth.
