Connecticut River Aquatic Invasive Plant Control Research Demonstration Project

planned

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a field-scale demonstration project to evaluate the effectiveness of aquatic herbicides in managing monoecious hydrilla in the tidal, riverine environment of the Lower Connecticut River. The project aims to assess herbicide efficacy, optimal treatment timing, non-target impacts, and concentration-exposure time requirements for effective control. It also provides interim control of hydrilla at multiple sites in the Lower Connecticut River Watershed.
