Water fertility determines a ponds productivity. Fertilizer increases pond productivity by stimulating the growth of microscopic plants. Fertilization makes the water turn green, shading the bottom and preventing growth of nuisance aquatic plants. Once fertilization is started, it should be continued.
Fertilizers high in nitrogen such as 21-53-0 or 10-34-0 should be used. During the summer months add
fertilizer as needed to maintain 18 inches visibility. In the fall, stop fertilizing when water temperature
drops below 60 degrees F. Have your pond water tested to be sure the lime content is adequate before beginning a fertilization program.
