Abstract and summary

Diquat (6,7-dihydropyrido[1,2-a:2’,1′-c] pyrazidiinium salt) was applied to several emergent, submersed, floating-leaved, and free-floating aquatic plants common in Central Illinois ponds. At relatively low rates, it was effective in controlling several submersed aquatic plants but not American pondweed, Potamogeton nodosus, and cabomba, Cabomba caroliniana. This herbicide also was effective on several common emergent species.
