| Abstract/Contents: | Describes two types of potentially harmful algae: cyanobacteria, a phylum of bacteria-like organisms that are photosynthetic, as well as filamentous algae which produces a thick mat that floats on the surface of ponds and lakes. States that "the main cause of algal development in a body of water is an excess of dissolved nutrients (nitrates and phosphates) usually leached from nearby land." Provides several methods for reducing or removing algae by denying it one or more of its necessary growth stimuli; a supply of nutrients, warmth, and light. Notes that algal blooms on golf course water features are often a product of nutrient leaching from another part of the course, and thus can be reduced either by reducing the amount of chemicals used or using products with slow release or a nitrification inhibitor. Suggests also using certain species of bacteria that thrive in nutrient-rich water to reduce the amount of algal cover. |
