Algae Defense Algaecide
Algae Defense is fast-acting and works on a broad
spectrum of algae. Begin applications early in the spring when
water and temperature reaches 60° F and above. Early applications
will reduce the amount of Algae Defense needed and reduce the
amount of excess nutrients caused by dead algae. Unless steps are
taken to reduce the overall nutrients in your pond, multiple
applications may be needed for a full season of control.
Algae Defense
successfully controls diverse algae types including branched,
filamentous, and planktonic species. To obtain optimal control,
apply Algae Defense in accordance with label directions at the
first appearance of algae bloom. Begin applications early in the
spring when water and temperature reaches 60° F and above. Early
applications will reduce the amount of Algae Defense needed and
reduce the amount of excess nutrients caused by dead
algae.
Get better results by
mixing with Cide-Kick Chemical Enhancer.
Cide-Kick is
used to enhance the effects of other liquid chemicals. To
effectivey treat weeds and algae, two things must happen.
1st - The water tension
has to be broken down to allow the chemical to penetrate the water
in the appropriate spot.
2nd - The
cuticle fo the weed has to be penetrated for the chemical to be
absorbed.
Cide-Kick is a
by-product of the citrus industry, a low viscosity oil and is
compatible with most aquatic herbicides and algaecides
Restrictions: Algae Defense
may be toxic to Trout if carbonate hardness of treated water is
less than 50 ppm. Most surface waters exceed this limit and pose no
threat. If in doubt, use a Water Hardness Test Kit
Chemicals cannot be shipped to the following
states: California, Washington, Maine, New Jersey, New York &
Connecticut.
Application: If your pond is
not equipped with an aeration system, treat your pond in thirds,
waiting 10 - 12 days between treatments to insure safe oxygen
levels. Mix 1 gallon Algae Defense with 10 gallons of tap water and
spray directly on the pond's surface where weeds are present. 1
gallon treats 8,000 square feet.
