HERBICIDE APPLICATION
For rooted and submerged plants
Control of many rooted and submerged plants such as Hydrilla and Potomogeton can be obtained
from use of this product to give copper concentrations at 0.4 - 1.0 ppm. Choose the application
rate dependent upon the density and stage of growth and the water depth from the chart below.
Application Rates
Growth stage ppm Average Depth in Feet
(Low Density)
Early Season 0.4 6.5 fl. oz. 13.0 fl. oz. 19.25 fl. oz. 25.5 fl. oz.
(Moderate Density)
Mid Season 0.7 11.0 fl. oz. 22.5 fl. oz. 33.5 fl. oz. 45.0 fl. oz.
(Heavy Density)
Before application, dilute at the rate of 1 pint of this product in 1.25 gallons (1 quart in 2.5
gallons)(1 gallon in 10 gallons) of water. Application rates for depths greater than 4 feet may be
obtained by adding the rates above to give the proper depth. Do not exceed a copper
concentration of 1.0 ppm copper in the treated water.
FOR WATER HYACINTH CONTROL
The following mixture can be used as a control method for water hyacinth and other floating
aquatic vegetation.
Mix 1 gallon of this product per 7 gallons of water. Apply directly to exposed vegetation to
cover 8,700 to 20,000 sq. ft. [Mix 1 quart of this product per 1.75 gallons of water. Apply
directly to exposed vegetation to cover 2,175 to 5,000 sq. ft.][Mix 1 pint per 6.5 pints of water.]
Do not exceed 1 pint of this product per 1,000 sq. ft. of treated surface area. In areas of heavy
infestation, multiple applications may be required. Applications may be repeated after 14 days.
Non-ionic adjuvants should be used with this product to improve dispersion and/or adhesion.
DRIP SYSTEM APPLICATION FOR FLOWING WATER
This product should be applied as soon as algae or plants begin to interfere with normal or
desired water uses. Heavy infestations and flows may cause poor chemical distribution resulting
in unsatisfactory control. Under these conditions, continuous feed systems offer advantage.
Prior to treatment, it is important to determine the water flow rates. In the absence of weirs or
flow determining devices for this information, water flow may be estimated as shown below.
Avg. Width X Avg. Depth X Velocity in feet/sec. X 0.9 = CFS(Cubic Feet/Second)
Velocity is the time it takes for a floating object to move a given distance. For example, if a leaf
travels 6 feet across the water in 60 seconds, the Velocity equals 0.1 (6/60 = 0.1) This
measurement should be made as the average of at least three determinations taken at the
treatment location.
