Factors Contributing to the Spread of Hydrilla in Lakes and Reservoirs

Abstract

This technical note reviews case histories on several lakes and reservoirs throughout the United States that are infested with hydrilla (Hydnlla verticillata (L.f.) Royle), to evaluate environmental factors regulating its rate of spread. Environmental factors include water chemistry parameters such as alkalinity, conductivity, pH, chlorophyll a, total nitrogen, dissolved ammonia- nitrogen, total phosphorus and transparency (as measured by Secchi disk depth).
