WEEDTRINE-D


How much water should I add to Weedtrine D before spraying?
The dilution rates may vary, depending on what the target organism is. A 5:1 dilution is the minimum dilution recommended for even distribution of the product.

What is a non-ionic surfactant, and what is it used for?
A surfactant is a SURFaceACTiveAgeNT. Surfactants are often used to enhance the effectiveness of a spray mixture. It enables a chemical to "stick" to the targeted plant. Non-ionic means that it does not have a charge, and will not react with other ions (charged particles) in the solution. When spraying emergent vegetation, duckweed, or watermeal, it is essential to use a non-ionic surfactant in the spray mixture.

Is this product toxic to fish?
There is no direct toxicity to fish if the product is used in accordance with the label. To avoid problems resulting from oxygen depletion, only treat one third of the pond at a time, and wait 10 days in between treatments.

How long after treatment must I wait before my animals can drink from the treated area?
Waters treated with Weedtrine-D should not be used for animal consumption for 5 days after treatment.

Can I use Weedtrine-D to treat a pond or a lake with an algae problem?
In most cases, Cutrine-Plus is the better choice for algae control. In cases where Cutrine-Plus cannot be used, Weedtrine D may be used instead. To determine how much, use the formula printed on the label: Gallons to use = (ppm recommended) x (acreage of water) x (average depth) x (7) To convert gallons to ounces, multiply by 128. (Example .2 gallons = 25.6 ounces).

What is the shelf life of Weedtrine-D?
The shelf life is approximately 1-2 years if the container has been opened, or 3-4 years unopened if it is stored properly.
