  • Why is there a withholding period for AQ200?

    Applying AQ200 requires withholding the use of water for 10 days. After this period, the water is completely safe to utilise. AQ200 is a non-residual aquatic herbicide designed for effective weed management without lingering impacts, and this waiting period allows the water to become safe for consumption after treatment.

    Why is it necessary to mix AQ200 with town or tank water?

    When preparing your AQ200 solution, it’s crucial to utilise town or tank water as it typically has minimal contaminants. Mixing AQ200 with dirty or contaminated water could neutralize the product’s effectiveness, rendering your application ineffective.

    Can AQ200 be used for wick wiping?

    Absolutely, wick application is an option that depends on your specific situation. General spraying is also highly effective, and spraying to thoroughly wet the target aquatic plants often yields optimal results.

    What type of sprayer is best for applying AQ200?

    For optimal application, consider using a knapsack or backpack sprayer equipped with an adjustable nozzle, either manual or battery-powered. These sprayers are readily available at local hardware stores like Bunnings, with prices ranging from approximately $40 to $250.

    How does AQ200 work?

    AQ200 is an aquatic herbicide that targets the plant’s cell wall, causing it to rupture. This disruption prevents the cell from functioning normally, leading to inefficient photosynthesis and, ultimately, the plant’s demise within 7 to 14 days post-application. AQ200 is classified as a contact herbicide, affecting only the exposed parts of the plant.

    Are frogs sensitive to AQ200?

    Amphibians like frogs are known to be sensitive to changes in their environment, including water quality. While AQ200 is primarily designed to target plants, its effects on frogs could vary based on factors such as the concentration of the herbicide, the species of frogs, and the overall health of the ecosystem. However, frogs are known to move away if the conditions are not right for them. If you are concerned about any local wildlife, please contact your local EPA.

    How can I minimise potential impacts on frogs when using AQ200?

    To minimise potential impacts on frogs and other non-target species:

    • Follow the application instructions carefully to ensure the correct dosage and method.
    • Avoid over spraying or releasing excess AQ200 into the water.
    • If possible, perform treatments during periods when frog activity is lower.
    • Monitor treated areas after application to observe any changes in frog behaviour

     

    Does AQ200 have long-term effects on aquatic ecosystems?

    AQ200 is a non-residual herbicide, which means it doesn’t persist in the environment for an extended period (maximum of 10 days). Its impact should lessen as the herbicide breaks down. It is always important to use any herbicide responsibly, and follow correct dosage applications.

Herbicide worked brilliantly

Product was shipped promptly. Whilst the **** is now gone, the ducks, turtles, grebes and lilies are still thriving just as Sacha foretold. The knowledge, interest and service provided by Aquatic Technologies are most commendable.
