Navigate® Herbicide – Aquatic Weed Killer for Ponds & Lakes
Pond Weeds Controlled ▾
- Watermilfoil (including Eurasian Watermilfoil)
- Water Stargrass
- Bladderwort
- White & Yellow Water Lily (Spatterdock)
- Water Shield
- Water Chestnut
- Coontail*
*Repeat treatments may be necessary for resistant species.
How to Apply ▾
- Apply evenly using a broadcast spreader.
- Typical rate: 5–7.5 lbs per 2,000 sq ft.
- Rates vary from 100–200 lbs per acre depending on target weed.
- 50 lb bag treats up to approximately 20,000 sq ft.
Initial results appear within 7–10 days. Full control typically occurs within 3–5 weeks as weeds die and decompose.
For heavy infestations, apply in lanes with untreated buffer strips (50–100 ft wide) to prevent oxygen depletion. Treat buffer areas after initial treated zones have decomposed.
When to Apply ▾
Best results occur when applied in spring and early summer while weeds are actively growing.
Late season applications are possible but may require repeat treatments and results may not be fully visible until the following season.
Water pH below 8 generally yields best performance.
Active Ingredient ▾
27.6% 2,4-D (Butoxyethyl Ester of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid)
Specially formulated granular carrier resists rapid breakdown and delivers chemical directly to the plant root zone.
Restrictions & Important Information ▾
- Not for use in water used for irrigation, agricultural sprays, dairy watering, or domestic water supplies.
- 1-day swimming restriction.
- 7-day irrigation restriction.
- 7-day drinking water restriction.
- Limited to 2 applications per season (minimum 21 days apart).
In some states, permits may be required for chemical use in public waters. Always consult the product label and local regulations.
Oxygen & Water Quality Considerations ▾
As treated weeds decompose, they consume oxygen. When weed density is heavy, treat in sections to maintain proper dissolved oxygen levels for fish safety.
For enhanced breakdown of dead vegetation, beneficial bacteria such as Muck Remover may be applied after treatment.
