Aquathol K: Liquid Herbicide

Aquathol K is an aquatic herbicide that is comprised of 40.3% endothal-potassium and is very site specific.  It is a contact herbicide with little dispersion from the treatment area.  It can also be used in turbid (muddy) waters because it does not bind to suspended sediment, unlike Reward herbicide.  It should be used to remove nuisance plants so that the aquatic habitat can be restored.  It can also make recreational activities more enjoyable by removing excess plants in swimming, boating, and fishing areas. 
Aquathol K can be used to control Hydrilla, Eurasian Water Milfoil, Curly Pondweed, and most other submersed aquatic plants.  It should be applied at a rate of 2 gallons per surface acre after the plants have grown to the surface of the water.  This herbicide has a wide margin of tolerance for fish and other aquatic species.
