Application

Treating at 0.8 ppm controls most underwater aquatic plants. Using a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 ppm will provide better control in shallow waters or where plants are within 2 feet of the water surface.​
​
Pour directly into water. Dispersion can be accelerated by applying in several areas around the treatment site, or allowing fountains/aerators to run.
​
For best results, apply early in the season, prior to plant germination. ​
