CUTRINE®-ULTRA FACT SHEET
E.P.A. Reg. No. 8959-53 E.P.A.. Est. No. 42291-GA-1 U.S.PATENT 5,407,899
Registered for use in: Lakes, Potable Water Reservoirs, Farm, Fish and Industrial Ponds, Fish Hatcheries and Raceways, Irrigation Conveyance Systems: Ditches, Canals, Laterals
WHAT IS CUTRINE®-ULTRA?
CUTRINE®-ULTRA is an algaecide with an emulsified surfactant, which controls existing algae including many tolerant species and inhibits rapid re-infestation. CUTRINE®-ULTRA also acts as a herbicide in controlling the rooted underwater weed Hydrilla verticillata.
BASIC FACTS: CUTRINE®-ULTRA
  • Is a liquid formulation which contains 9.0% active ingredient with an emulsified surfactant.
  • Contains 0.909 pounds of copper per gallon.
  • Has a specific gravity of 1.21 (10.1 lbs. per gallon).
  • Controls algae at 0.2 to 1.0 ppm copper and hydrilla at 0.4 to 1.0 ppm copper.
  • Controls all three forms of algae: planktonic, filamentous and chara
ADVANTAGES:
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA is U.S.E.P.A. registered for use in drinking water reservoirs, farm fish and industrial ponds, lakes, fish hatcheries and raceways, irrigation water conveyance systems such as canals, laterals and ditches.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA is far less corrosive to equipment and other metal surfaces than other chelated copper compounds.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA treated water can be used for swimming, domestic uses and livestock watering immediately after chemical application.
  • Water from treated lakes, ponds, irrigation systems and golf course water hazards may be used to irrigate turf, fairways, putting greens and ornamental plants.
  • Fish can be caught and consumed immediately after CUTRINE®-ULTRA application.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA will not plate-out or precipitate under normal storage conditions nor does the copper in CUTRINE®-ULTRA precipitate out and become ineffective in alkaline or hard water.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA has been used successfully in trout ponds which contained cold, hard water.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA effectively controls the noxious submersed weed, Hydrilla verticillata, without requiring post-treatment water use restrictions associated with other herbicides.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA is compatible in tank mixes with the aquatic herbicides Weedtrine®-D, Reward and Aquathol K.
  • CUTRINE®-ULTRA can be applied to flowing water using a continuous delivery drip system. It has been used effectively in trout raceways and irrigation canals.
APPLICATION RATES:
CUTRINE®-ULTRA - is applied at a rate of 0.6 to 2.4 gallons per acre-foot (43,560 cubic feet) of water to be treated for planktonic and filamentous algae, 1.2 to 3.0 gallons per acre-foot for Chara and Nitella and 1.2 to 3.0 gallons per acre-foot for Hydrilla.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
CUTRINE®-ULTRA should be diluted with at least 9 parts of water to facilitate even distribution during application. Surface spray is most practical for treatment of planktonic and filamentous algae. Bottom-growing algae should be treated by underwater injection or by application of CUTRINE®-PLUS GRANULAR. Hydrilla can be treated by surface spray or underwater injection.
CONTAINER SIZES:
CUTRINE®-ULTRA is available in 2 1/2 gallon (packed 2 to a case), 5 gallon, 30 gallon, 55 gallon and 275 gallon containers.
NOTE:
CUTRINE®-ULTRA needs sunlight to optimize effectiveness.
CUTRINE®-ULTRA is is effective on many tolerant species of algae, but is not completely effective against Pithophora and diatoms.
CUTRINE®-ULTRA can be toxic to trout, at the recommended application rates, if the water has less than 50 ppm of carbonate hardness (soft water). Do not use in waters containing Koi and hybrid goldfish. Not intended for use in small volume, garden pond systems.
OF SPECIAL INTEREST:
CUTRINE®-ULTRA has proven to be a favorite algaecide for professional applicators because of its enhanced effectiveness attributed to the presence of emulsified surfactants. It can reduce or eliminate taste and odor problems caused by geosmin and MIB producing blue-green algae. It can be used to reduce the incidence of secondary bacterial or fungal infections by reducing the phytoplanktonic irritants which can expose the gill surfaces of the fish.
