Aquatic Herbicides

Aquathol K (liquid)$176.00/2.5 gal.

• 40.3 percent Dipotassium salt of endothall.
• Is a broad range contact herbicide.
• Has a margin of safety to fish.
• Recommended for use irrigation canals,ponds and lakes.
• Works rapidly in still or slow moving waters.

Application:
For best results, Aquathol K should be applied as early as possible after weeds appear or when they are actively growing. To prevent fish suffocation, the pond or lake should be treated in sections 5-7 days apart.

The herbicide can be sprayed on the water surface or injected below the surface, either as a concentrate or diluted. Also, waters should have minimal or no flow when spaying due to the chemical diffusing from treatment area.

Controls:
• Burr Reed
• Coontail
• Horned Pondweed
• Hydrilla
• Milfoil
• Naiad
• Potamogeton Sp.
• Parrot Feather
• Water Stargrass

*Contact us to determine the amount of herbicide needed*

** Restrictions include the following:**
1. Do not use fish from treated waters for food or feed within 3 days of treatment.

2. Do not use water from treated areas for watermg livestoch for preparmg agricultural sprays for food crops or for irrigation or domestic purposes between 7-25 days.

Aquathol Super K (granlar)$222.00/10 lb bag.

• 63% Dipotassium salt of endothall
• Broad range, contact herbicide
• Aquatic herbicide for use in ponds and lakes
• Ready-to-use herbicide
• Breaks down cellular structure thus inhibiting photosynthesis
• Gives a margin of safety to fish
• 6 times more concentrated than Aquathol

Application:
Apply evenly using a hand held portable spreader when weeds are present and actively growing. With heavy growth, treatments should be limited to 1/3 to 1/2 of pond or lake at any one time. This will prevent fish suffocation due to lack of available oxygen.
Sections should be treated 5-7 days apart. Apply when waters are calm and flows are minimal.

For most pondweeds, concentrations of 0.5-5.0 ppm will give excellent control. This rate is equivalent to 0.25-2.5 lbs. of Aquathol Super K for 1000 sq. ft. at a depth of 5 feet. Also, we can determine the amount of Aquathol Super K needed for an acre. Concentrations from 0.5-5.0 ppm give excellent results. This rate is equivalent to 11-110 lbs.
Please call us so that we can assist you with the exact dosage you need.

Controls:
• Burr Reed
• Horned Pondweed
• Hydrilla
• Potamogeton sp.
• Water Stargrass
• Coontail
• Milfoil
• Naiad
• Parrot Feather

**Restrictions include the following:**
1. Do not use water from treated areas for irrigation, human consumption or agricultural sprays on food crops with in 7 days of treatment.

2. Do not eat fish within 3 days of treatment.

3. Avoid drift to other crops or plants

CUTRINE-PLUS (granlar)$58.00/30 lb bag.
CUTRINE-PLUS (granlar)$37.32/12 lb bag.

• 3.7% elemental copper.
• Combination of rapid and slow release granules.
• Specific gravity of 1.38.
• Ready to use contact algaecide.
• For use in ponds, lakes, potable water reservoirs and fish hatcheries.
• Granules settle on algae and immediately begins destorying the
cellular structure.
• Only 2-3 applications per season are required depending on the length of the growing season.
• Available in 10 or 30 lb. bags.
• Carbonate level in the water should be checked due to the possibility
of carbonates binding to copper thus reducing effectiveness.

Application:
For best results, apply on a calm, sunny day in the early morning. Use a hand held portable spreader and distribute evenly over vegetation.
Only treat 1/3 to 1/2 of the pond at a time to prevent fish suffocation. Allow 1-2 weeks between treatments for O levels to recover.
Apply at the rate of 60 lbs./acre

Controls:
• Chara (bottom-growing filamentous algae)
• Nitella

Chara and Nitella control is best achieved when Cutrine-Plus is applied early in the season. As the season progresses, they become very resistant due to calcification of the plant. Copper in this product may be toxic to trout or other fish species if the carbonate hardness is < 50ppm.

** NO WATER USE RESTRICTIONS**

CUTRINE-PLUS (liquid)$32.75/gal.

• 9% copper (copper-ethanolamine complexes)
• Controls a broad range of algae in ponds, lakes, potable reservoirs, fish ponds, ditches and canals.
• Ethanolamines prevent precipitation of carbonates and bicarbonates in the water.
• Once Cutrine-Plus contacts algae, it begins to break down the cellular structure thus inhibiting photosynthesis.

Application:
For most effective results, apply Cutrine-Plus on a calm day. Water temperature should be minimum 60°F. Before applying, it is advisable to break up dense algae mats so contact is enhanced. Treat heavy algae growth in sections to avoid oxygen depletion.

Dilute 1 part Cutrine-Plus to 9 parts of water. Spray uniformly on the water's surface with a pressurized spray tank which can deliver large spray droplets. Allow 1-2 weeks between consecutive treatments. Allow 7-10 days to observe the effects of treatment.

** NO WATER USE RESTRICTIONS**

Navigate (granular)$187.50/50 lb. bag

• 27.6% 2,4-D Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

** Restrictions include the following:**
1. Do not apply to water to be used for irrigation, agricultural sprays, watering dairy animals or domestic water supplies.

2. Avoid drift of dust to plants.

Hydrothol 191$200.95/2.5 gal.

A concentrated liquid herbicide/algaecide for use in lakes, ponds, irrigation and drainage canals. Effective against a wide variety of submersed aquatic weeds and algae.

Restrictions on water usage following treatment: fish consumption 3 days, watering livestock or domestic use 7 to 25 days depending on application rate.

Fill spray tank 1/2 full with water. Add pesticides as directed and, lastly, add Induce and then agitate

Prenfish (Rotenone)$100.99/gal.

1. What is Rotenone?l been happy with the services we rendered.
Rotenone is a naturally occurring substance derived from the roots of tropical plants in the bean or iegume family. It can be ground up in the form of a powder or extracted from the roots and formulated into a liquid. If formulated into a liquid the concentration will be 5 percent.

2. How does rotenone work?
Rotenone inhibits fish from being able to utilize the oxygen absorbed in the blood and needed in the release of energy during respiration. The fish then rise to the water sufiace trying to take in air. As once believed, rotenone does NOT cause fish to suffocate or interfere with oxygen uptake in their blood stream.

3. Why is rotenone used in aquatics?
The use of rotenone enables aquatic professionals to eradicate entire populations of undesirabie species of fish from lakes, ponds, reservoirs and streams. Example: over-population of bluegill.

4. Are there any ill effects if I ingest water that was treated with rotenone?
The hazard associated with rotenone is very small due to the concentration of rotenone used in the treatment (25-250 ppb or 0.025-0.25 mg/L of water). Studies show lethal doses to humans are 300-500 mg of rotenone/Kg body weight. Put another way, a 160 lb. person would have to ingest 23,000 gallons of treated water at 0.25 mg/L at one sitting to receive a lethal dose.

5. Can I swim in my pond/lake after the treatment? If so, how long after?
Yes. You do not want to swim in a rotenone treated body of water until the application has been completed and the pesticide has been thoroughly mixed into the water according to labeling instructions.

6. Who can apply rotenone?
The only persons who can legally apply rotenone to any body of water are licensed applicators who are certified through the Dept. of Agriculture. Rotenone is a "restricted use pesticide" and must be purchased and applied by those licensed individuals. Anyone who purchases rotenone and applies it, without being licensed, will be subjected to large fines enforced by the Dept. of Agriculture.

7. How soon after a rotenone treatment can I re-stock my pond?
Studies show that rotenone completely degrades within 1-4 weeks within the temperature range of 1-20 °C A good test to try is to put a few fish to be stocked in a cage in the coolest part of the pond or lake. If the fish are not killed within 24 hours, then the pond or lake may be restocked. We, at M.B.A., highly suggest waiting approximately 30 days.

One question that always arises is, "How much rotenone is needed for my size and pond or lake"? We, at M.B.A., will determine the amount since we are licensed by the Dept. of Agriculture to apply this pesticide. Rotenone worked extremely well in the ponds we have applied it in and our customers have all been happy with the services we rendered.
