  • Orange Oil Water Surface Clearer – The natural way to go

    Orange oil products are suitable for the control of salvinia, azolla and duckweed [1] in irrigation dams, farm dams, ponds and more. The use of orange oil is an environmentally friendly weed control approach[4].

    A natural based product that gets its power from orange oil extracts with its principal component of orange oil, which is known for its herbicidal properties [2], Water Surface Clearer spray is safe to use and does not have a withholding period. This means that the water being treated can be used immediately after application – no more waiting around. Non-toxic to humans and domestic animals [3] fish, pets and livestock, this product is not a herbicide, but a natural solution to clear unwanted free floating aquatic matter on the water’s surface.

    How does it work?

    When the orange oil covers the surface of the leaves, it disrupts the cuticle, breaking down or dissolving the waxy coating on plant cell walls. It also contributes to the desiccation or burndown of young tissues [6]. This results in the plant losing its ability to retain water [3]. The damaged leaf cells leak water and the plants die of dehydration [8].

    Best Practice

    We recommend full applications on day 1, day 2 and day 4. For best results, ensure there is visible free water in between the floating matter. If coverage is at 100%, partially remove some of the floating matter before applying Water Surface Clearer.

  • How to Use

    This product works best when surface matter is small and manageable. It’s advised to do several light applications, instead of a single heavy dose.

    Ensure that the full surface area of the water is treated. Where no free-floating matter is present, apply lightly and evenly.

    For large infestations covering up to 90% of the water’s surface – partially remove sections of the infestation to create space for the treated matter to sink. I such instances, we recommend applying an extra 20% of the product to ensure saturation.

    How does it work?

    When the orange oil covers the surface of the leaves, it disrupts the cuticle, breaking down or dissolving the waxy coating on plant cell walls. It also contributes to the desiccation or burndown of young tissues [6]. This results in the plant losing its ability to retain water [3]. The damaged leaf cells leak water and the plants die of dehydration [8] and thus sink and decompose.

    Orange Oil Application Rates

  • Orange oil products are suitable for the control of Salvinia, Azolla and Duckweed[1]. The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has listed orange oil as a method to control salvinia[1].

    When orange oil herbicides were applied to vegetation, “most vegetation showed visible signs of stress (wilting or browning) within 2-24 hours[3]”.

  • What is the best sprayer to apply with?

    A knapsack or backpack sprayer with an adjustable nozzle, either manual or battery powered. These can be found at your local hardware store (e.g. Bunnings) and range from around $40 to $250.

    Absolutely! It is non-toxic to humans and domestic animals [3].
