ODNR will use a trial application of ProcellaCOR EC on invasive weeds today at the recommendation of AquaDoc, the release said.

Crews are also, ‘harvesting,’ the weeds.

ODNR uses machines called lake rakers to cut the weeds, scoop them onto a conveyer belt and then haul the piles to shore.

So far, ODNR said it has harvested more than 6,000 yards of weeds.

The test area will be marked and boaters are asked to avoid the area, ODNR says.
