Features & Benefits
- Product Highlights
Herbicidal Activity. Habitat will control most annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in addition to many brush and vine species with some residual control of undesirable species that germinate above the waterline. Habitat is readily absorbed through emergent leaves and stems and is translocated rapidly throughout the plant with accumulation in the meristematic regions. For maximum activity, weeds should be growing vigorously at the time of application, and the spray solution should include a surfactant (see Adjuvants section for specific use directions). Treated plants stop growing soon after spray application. Chlorosis appears first in the newest leaves, and necrosis spreads from this point. In perennials, the herbicide is translocated into, and kills, underground or submerged storage organs, which prevents regrowth. Chlorosis and tissue necrosis may not be apparent in some plant species until 2 or more weeks after application. Complete kill of plants may not occur for several weeks. Applications of Habitat are rainfast 1 hour after treatment.
Application Methods. Habitat may be selectively applied by using low- volume directed application techniques or may be broadcast applied by using ground equipment, watercraft, or aircraft (aerial applications to aquatic sites must be made by helicopter). In addition, Habitat may also be applied using cut stump, cut stem, and frill and girdle treatment techniques within aquatic sites (see Aerial Application and Ground Application sections for additional details)
- Benefits
- Uses less active ingredient
- Breaks down quickly
- Puts less chemical load on the environment because it is effective at very low rates
- Provides long-term control of many perennial species, reducing the need for frequent re-applications
- Provides cost-effective alternatives to other aquatic herbicides and vegetation management techniques
- Helps expand treatment programs to additional areas
- Assists in reclaiming and maintain wetlands and waterways

- Application Notes
Habitat is labeled for application in a wide range of waterways, including lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, seeps, drainage ditches, canals, reservoirs, swamps, bogs, marshes, estuaries, marine sites, bays, brackish water, transitional areas between terrestrial and aquatic sites, and seasonal wet areas.
Habitat herbicide is designed to control plants that are primarily above water, so product must be applied to emergent foliage located above the water’s surface. For maximum effectiveness, Habitat should be applied to weeds that are growing vigorously, using a spray solution that includes a surfactant. It may be applied selectively, using a low-volume directed-application technique, or widely, using a broadcast technique involving ground equipment, watercraft, or helicopter.
- Directions for Use
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Habitat must be used only in accordance with the instructions on the leaflet label attached to the container. Keep containers closed to avoid spills and contamination
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
- Non-Agricultural Use Requirements
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
Noncrop weed control is not within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard. See the Product Information section of this label for a description of noncrop sites.
DO NOT enter or allow others to enter treated areas until sprays have dried.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemically resistant to this product are listed below. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.
Mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear:
- Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
- Chemical-resistant gloves (except for pilots)
- Shoes plus socks.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions are given for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. DO NOT reuse them.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240 (d)(6)]
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
- Wash hands with plenty of soap and water before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Spray solutions of Habitat herbicide should be mixed, stored and applied only in stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic and plastic-lined steel containers.
Thoroughly clean application equipment, including landing gear, immediately after use of this product. Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel (except stainless steel) surfaces may result in corrosion and failure of the exposed part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) may prevent corrosion.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to plants. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to plants in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply to water except as specified in this label. Treatment of aquatic weeds may result in oxygen depletion or loss due to decomposition of dead plants. This oxygen loss may cause the suffocation of some aquatic organisms. DO NOT treat more than 1/2 of the surface area of the water in a single operation and wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow aquatic organisms to move into untreated areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. See Directions for Use for additional precautions and requirements. This pesticide is toxic to vascular plants and must be used strictly in accordance with the drift precautions on the label.

DO NOT contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage DO NOT store below 10° F.
Pesticide Disposal Wastes resulting from the use of this product must be disposed of on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Container Handling Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities.
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity s5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container Wfull with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity >5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 44 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal . Repeat this procedure two more times.
