Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Herbicide Target Species
Application

Proper chemical concentration contact should be maintained for a minimum of three hours. In moving waters, apply using drip system/metering and maintain contact time as determined on the product label.

Directions for Use

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

  1. Determine species and/or type of vegetation present.
  2. .Use Table 1 to determine the dosage rate.
  3. Determine acre-feet within the intended treatment area (area of infestation) by measuring length, width and average depth using the formula: length (ft.) x width (ft.) x average depth (ft.)/43,560 = acre-feet Note: 43,560 sq. ft. = 1 acre-foot
  4. Multiply acre-feet from step #3 times the dosage rate from step #2 to calculate the total gallons required for the treatment area.
  5. The following are techniques to apply this product: Surface
