Diquat SPC 2L herbicide provides non-selective control of aquatic weeds on contact. It spreads quickly through the water for broad-spectrum control of floating, submersed and marginal weeds. The product is foliar-applied and is slightly translocated through plant tissue. A surfactant enhances activity. It is completely inactivated on contact with soil. With Diquat SPC 2L herbicide, there are no concerns about groundwater, toxicity to fish, other organisms or wildlife.
KEY PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
- Works quickly — no waiting for aquatic weed control
- Broad-spectrum activity successfully controls key aquatic weeds
- Non-systemic, contact activity controls only the weeds it contacts
- Easy-to-use liquid formulation makes application trouble-free
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Diquat SPC 2L herbicide is used to control aquatic weeds in public waters such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches, canals, streams, rivers, and other slow moving or quiescent bodies of water.
Optimum control of submersed weeds is obtained by applying Diquat SPC 2L herbicide when the weeds are actively growing (photosynthesizing), typically when water temperatures are about 50°F or more.
