Abstract

ABSTRACT: Four algicides (copper citrate, copper ethanolamine, simazine, and diuron) were tested for effectiveness using in situ bio‐assays. Bioassays were conducted in clear polyethylene bags and algicide effectiveness measured by chlorophyll a, productivity, and algal counts. The body of water where this testing took place had a high pH (9.2), and high levels of total dissolved solids (610 mg/l) and nutrients. The order of effectiveness found in this study was simazine > diuron > copper ethanolamine > copper citrate.
