These algae developand proliferate in nutrient rich watersand are the main cause of oxygendepletion of the water following theirdecay. Apart from the aestheticunpleasantness caused, they create aphysical obstacle to activities such asirrigation, water sports, fishing and fishfarms. ProCrystal ® is a plant-based inert powder inoculated by 6strains of class 1 bacteria (over 6 x 10° bacteria per single-dosesachet). It very quickly consumes and degrades the excessnitrogen (nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen) and phosphates thatalgae feed on to develop.The algae die swiftly after treatment by being deprived of thenourishment essential to their development. Many testsconducted on infested bodies of water show the rapid reductionin nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in water treatedwith ProCrystal.How to UseProCrystal ® is used by distributing the unopened sachetsuniformly on the surface of the water. It may be applied from theriverside or from a boat. The sachets should be thrown directlyonto the surface of the water requiring treatment.

Because it does notdirectly kill the algae, Excalibar should ideally be used as apreventive tool, and added in the spring, before the algaebegin to grow strongly. It can still be used under algal bloomconditions, but may take some weeks to bring the bloomunder control, as the algal cells expire.
