specialty algaecides and herbicides for surface water.  
Applied Biochemists, a Lonza Business, is a leading manufacturer of specialty algaecides and herbicides for surface water. In a balanced ecosystem, aquatic vegetation can be desirable for aesthetics, stabilizing bottom sediments, producing oxygen and providing food and cover for fish, waterfowl and other aquatic life. However, when aquatic plants reach nuisance levels they can adversely affect aquatic life, impede water use, interfere with recreational activities and diminish economic value. Treating with EPA registered algaecides and herbicides can be a great way to improve water used in drinking water reservoirs, irrigation conveyance systems, aquaculture facilities, fish hatcheries, wastewater, golf courses, swimming areas, livestock tanks, farm ponds, lakes and private backyard ponds and other sites where aquatic vegetation interferes with the functional, recreational or aesthetic value of the water resource.

Applied Biochemists' contributions to this discipline have included numerous innovations including: patented new chemistries; application technologies; and technical resources on the subject of plant management. Teaming with Clemson University's Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, we are part of research efforts on the differences in toxicity and efficacy between various algaecide formulations.
