Spring/Summer Cleaner |
In Spring to accelerate decomposition of dead leaves and other cellulosic matter left over on the pond's bottom from the previous fall and winter season. |
Since bacteria are not good producers of cellulose-the enzyme that breaks down cellulose-the cellulase enzymes in the water-soluble packets speed up the initial step in this process. |
Should be used with MICROBE-LIFT/PL or TAC to complete breakdown of dead leaves and plant matter initiated the previous year by ML/AUTUMN/WINTER PREP. |
Autumn/Winter Prep |
One to two weeks after the start of leaf drop from trees then through the winter until pond temperature is consistently below 37 degrees F (3 degrees C). Apply the first water soluble packet to begin with the liquid component one week later continuing according to label instructions; Apply the second powder packet one month after the first. |
The water-soluble, power packet contains: a concentrated cellulase enzyme (which breaks down cellulose-a primary component of leaves); hypercellulase producing bacteria and a cold weather (psycrophilic) bacteria. Helps to speed up the rate limiting step in the breakdown of leaf and plant matter over the winter. |
While biological activity is lower due to low temperatures, other conditions e.g. dissolved oxygen levels which are higher at low temperatures and lower fish activity make this an excellent time to break this material down so there is little or non left by spring manual cleaning is reduced or eliminated. |
