For subsurface injection for submersed weed control, what is the spacing for hoses typically used?

The appropriate spacing for hoses during subsurface injection for submersed weed control is at 2-foot intervals. This spacing is designed to maximize the coverage and effectiveness of the herbicide being applied. When the hoses are spaced too far apart, there may be areas of the weed bed that do not receive adequate treatment, leading to reduced efficacy in controlling the targeted submersed weeds.

By utilizing 2-foot intervals, the distribution of the herbicide is more uniform, ensuring that a sufficient concentration reaches the root systems of the weeds. This technique allows for better penetration into the water column and increases the likelihood of controlling the weeds effectively while minimizing the chances of environmental impact from excessive herbicide use.

This method of application is based on established best practices that aim to achieve optimal results in aquatic weed management.
