WHAT IS
CLEARIGATE?
CLEARIGATE is a chelated copper
formulation containing an emulsified
surfactant/penetrant for highly effective control of
coarse (thick cell-walled) filamentous algae,
muscilaginous (colonial) planktonic algae, Chara and a
variety of emergent, floating and submerged aquatic
plants. Vegetation controlled includes: Cladophora,
Pithophora, Lyngbya, Microcystis, Hydrilla, pondweeds,
watermilfoil, naiad and other species having a
sensitivity to copper absorption in conjunction with a
penetrant. |
BASIC FACTS
CLEARIGATE:- Is a liquid formulation containing
3.825% active ingredient.
- Contains 0.31 pounds of
copper per gallon.
- Has a specific gravity of 1.1 -
1.3 (10-11 lbs. per gallon).
- Controls algae at 0.1 to
0.8 ppm copper and aquatic plants at 0.5 to 1.0 ppm
copper.
|
ADVANTAGES- Has no water use
restrictions during or following application.
- Is not
a Federally "RESTRICTED USE" pesticide.
- Mixes readily
in the water for top-to bottom, side-to-side and
downstream control.
- Adjuvant/emulsion technology
increases contact time in flowing water.
- Saves time
and money. Product can be applied by one applicator. Set
up systems can be left unattended.
- Is non-corrosive
to equipment.
|
APPLICATION
RATES:
Dosages rates of 0.1 - 0.5 ppm copper (0.3
- 1.4 qt. per cfs/hour) are used for planktonic algae.
Rates of 0.2 - 0.6 ppm (0.6 - 1.7 qt. per cfs/hour) are
used for filamentous algae and rates of 0.4 - 0.8 ppm
copper (1.2 - 2.3 qt. per cfs/hour) for Chara and
Nitella. Dosage rates of 0.5 - 1.0 ppm copper (1.4 - 2.8
qt. per cfs/hour) are used for submerged weeds. |
METHOD OF
APPLICATION:
CLEARIGATE can be applied by spot
spray and injection from shore for low flow systems.
Gravity drip systems work well for medium flow and a
12-volt metering pump set up is recommended for medium
to high flow systems. Refer to use directions and charts
on the CLEARIGATE label for proper calculation and
calibration of treatment rates.
|
CONTAINER SIZES
:
Is available in convenient container sizes to
fit the needs of all system volumes: 5, 30 & 55 gal.
drums; 275 gal. disposable totes; and Returnable
Shuttles (in some locations). |
TREATMENT
TIPS:- Apply CLEARIGATE on a clear sunny day for
optimum effectiveness.
- Apply CLEARIGATE early in the
season when plants are green and actively growing. Early
stages of growth are more susceptible to
control.
- Apply maximum rate where pH is above 9.0, as
high pH can reduce effectiveness. Treat early in the
day. Waters will typically have lowest pH in the a.m.
before plant photosynthesis begins.
