Product Description
Fast algae knockdown with liquid placement control
When you need quick cleanup without switching to a granular treatment, Cutrine Plus gives you the control of a liquid concentrate with the hard-water stability of a chelated copper formula. It is especially useful for planktonic blooms, floating or suspended filamentous growth, and other algae problems where even surface coverage matters. For deeper bottom-growth zones, a granular program may still be the better fit.

Thank you for the advice and guidance. Our wellness retreat pond is in great shape. The Cutrine and NT-MAX makes a world of difference. Best!
Verified Purchase
Last year my two-acre pond started turning into pea soup, so I used this and applied it twice. The algae was gone within a few weeks and it also eliminated all my floating algae. The water stayed clear for the rest of the year. A word of caution: don't use too much or you could harm small frogs, minnows, etc. Be sure to read the directions and warnings carefully. Since this product contains copper, you should not let goats drink the treated water. If you're dealing with an algae issue, this is the way to go. It worked great for me and I would recommend it to anyone looking to clear up algae problems.

There was a layer of algae covering my pond. I mixed it according to the directions and applied it with a backpack sprayer. You could actually watch the algae disappear right as I sprayed. It never returned afterward. Great stuff!
Verified Purchase
The algaecide definitely kills floating algae—you can see it starting to work within an hour. Just be sure to treat every bit of it or the algae will return within a week. I've learned that you'll need to retreat periodically throughout the growing season since it's not a permanent one-time solution.

Cutrine Plus Algaecide is an excellent product for eliminating algae blooms in lakes when applied at the recommended dosage. Just be sure to calculate your lake measurements accurately to apply the right amount.

Excellent product that works really well and the price is great too.

I have a half-acre pond that was being overrun by filamentous algae mats. I had been using another product from a pond store that did nothing to help, so I was spending hours each day scooping algae with a net. Then I tried Cutrine Plus. I started spraying from the dam and by the time I circled back the algae was already turning brown. After a week nearly all the algae was gone. This stuff is amazing. I would definitely recommend it if you're tired of wasting money on products that don't work, and this was the best price I've seen.

This is one of the best algaecides available for controlling planktonic algae in farm ponds. I've used it several times over the years and it works when nothing else does.
Verified Purchase
It's a great product for controlling floating algae, though it does take a good amount to achieve full control. I've been testing different application rates. A 1:4 ratio of Cutrine to water seems best, and sometimes even stronger if you can apply it evenly. Higher concentration works especially well when the algae gets pushed to one side by the wind, so I suggest waiting for a breezy day.

A long-stem weed was taking over my half-acre pond, so I used Cutrine Plus. It took around two weeks, but the pond was cleared of that weed. I would recommend it for this type of weed.
Verified Purchase
The product completely eliminated all the algae in the pond within about three days.

The product does a wonderful job controlling algae. It also gives my small pond a light blue tint.

Cutrine works effectively on the algae in my pond. The price was very reasonable, shipping arrived quickly, and it came right on time.
Verified Purchase
It quickly killed the floating algae and also took out quite a few plants growing in the shallow water. I highly recommend it.
Verified Purchase
Mats of algae were floating across the surface of my half-acre pond. I waited for a windy day so the mats collected at one end, then sprayed them with a hand pump sprayer. They were completely gone in three days. I highly recommend this product.
Verified Purchase
It works very effectively with monthly applications from spring through summer. I also add blue coloring to the water at the same time.
