Reward Herbicide: Eliminating Weeds Quickly

Reward herbicide is a fast acting, broad spectrum herbicide used to treat submersed aquatic weeds especially Eloidea, Eurasian Water Milfoil, Coontail, Curly Pondweed, Thin Leaf Pondweed, and Naiads.  It is absorbed within minutes by target plants and has no toxicity to fish or wildlife and no water use restrictions.  Reward functions by interfering with photosynthesis in the plant tissue.  
Reward should be applied at a rate of 1 to 2 gallons per surface acre.  Reward is a positively charged ion and can be neutralized by turbid water.  Because of this, do not stir up sediment from the bottom of the lake or pond during application.  Apply this herbicide during the summer when the top of the plant begins to reach the water’s surface for best results.
