APPLIED BIOCHEMISTS 390242A Cutrine-Plus Granular Algaecide, 12 lbs

Cleared up algae in 48 hours. Treated 1/2 pond, will treat other half in recommended time frame. Have used the product for 2 years.

Works as it says. Good product.

I treated a 1/3 acre pond and can't say it didn't work because a lot of dead algae floated up from the bottom, but there is still algae in the pond along the sides. In all fairness to the product, this was the first time pond has ever been treated and realize a yearly treatment plan needs to be put in place. The area where it didn't seem to work as well was around the the edges and will probably use a spray for that. In the directions it stated it would treat a 1/2 acre so that is why I gave it 4 stars, because of the edges of the pond. Otherwise, the deeper areas of the pond the algae appears to be reduced or gone. Will treat again per the instructions and stay on a treatment plan.

Used it for years. Always get the job done on controlling algae growth

Works great on my shoreline

If you follow the recommendations for use, Cutrine granulated algaecide is easy to use and gives predictable results. A hand held spreader made distribution over the surface of my pond convenient. I applied two treatments, two weeks apart, just before spring. I use it as part of a program I came up with that also includes aeration, natural bacteria and the messy job of removal of excess detritus (actually, this method is pretty common). Cutrine jump-starts the process and the aeration and bacteria help metabolize the excess nutrients that result. Cutrine eventually breaks down in sunlight, therefore you may need to reapply it later in the season if you get a bloom. The key is being consistent. The downside is it can get a little expensive.

This product did not work as promised I applied this product to my pond . 30 lbs for$118. I have seen no improvement in getting rid of the green algae. I will not buy this stuff again.

Works great on Chara, what my wife calls “curly weeds”, a type of algae that lies on the bottom. No more expensive than copper sulfate and works better.
