Description
Fluridone
Fluridone is an aquatic herbicide effective against various aquatic plants; submersed, emergent, and floating (including duckweed and watermeal). Provides excellent season-long control with an early spring application prior to or just after plant growth begins. There are no restrictions on water use for fishing, swimming, or domestic use following application according to label instructions. Fourteen to thirty-day restriction on the use of treated water for irrigation following application. Application rates: Liquid: ponds – 0.16 to 1.5 quarts per acre, lakes – 0.11 to 4 quarts per acre.
In other words, Fluridone is a selective, root-killing, systemic herbicide. Controls weeds in freshwater ponds, lakes, reservoirs, irrigation canals, and drainage ditches.
Treat your entire pond.
Selective control provides excellent results on many difficult to control weeds, while allowing desirable vegetation to remain. Additionally, you should treat the entire pond at one time. Please inquire about supplemental directions for control of duckweed and watermeal.
Absorbed by leaves and stems directly from the water and by roots from the hydrosoil. In susceptible weeds, Fluridoneinhibits the ability to produce carotene. In other words, without this ability, weeds die because chlorophyll is rapidly degraded by sunlight.
Visible effects in 7 to 10 days.
Initial results show a bleaching at growing tips of the weed. Within 7 to 10 days weeds begin to turn white or pink and decay. Under optimum conditions full weed kill occurs in 30 to 90 days. Results occur slowly.
For best results, apply in spring and summer during the early stages of growth. You must have consistent concentrations for 7 to 10 days following application. Rapid dilution will reduce effectiveness.
A little goes a long way.
To apply, determine the volume of water to be treated in acre-feet. Use 1 pint of Fluridone per 2.5 acre-feet. Dilute with water and apply uniformly over the surface with a sprayer.
Water treated with Fluridone should not be used for irrigation for 30 days following treatment.
Cannot ship to California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oregon or Washington.
