Control of Toxic Cyanobacterial Blooms in Water Bodies by Allelochemicals

Abstract

Identifies and characterizes potent naturally occurring biochemical agents--allelochemicals--to control toxic populations of Microcystis in fresh water lakes. Tests the potential application of allelochemicals for bloom control under laboratory and small-scale field conditions. Completed in 2005.
