The effects of the aquatic herbicide, diquat, on non-target aquatic biota – a mesocosm study

The objective of this research is to examine the effects that the direct application of pesticides to control aquatic invasive plants has on non-target organisms. The research will focus on the active ingredient diquat, a currently registered pesticide in Canada used to control submerged plant species. A mesocosm (i.e. artificial pond) experimental approach will be used to examine the effects of diquat on aquatic organisms, including native and invasive plants, invertebrates and vertebrates that are representative of, and important to, Canadian aquatic ecosystems.
