  • Introducing AQ200 + Hydrogel: The Ultimate Fast-Acting Aquatic Herbicide for Effective Weed Control

    Discover the Power of AQ200, Your Solution to Aquatic Weed Problems!

    Looking to eliminate aquatic weeds swiftly and effectively? Look no further than AQ200 – a high-potency, rapid-action aquatic herbicide that conquers a wide spectrum of aquatic weeds. Partnered with Hydrogel, AQ200 forms an unbeatable duo, enabling you to combat submerged aquatic weeds lurking at the depths of waterbodies that are otherwise challenging to target.

    The AQ200 + Hydrogel Combo: A Precision Approach to Weed Management

    The AQ200 + Hydrogel combination is designed for targeted contact and dilution-based foliage application, specifically tailored to outperform general application methods when tackling submerged aquatic weeds1. This dynamic herbicide blend is expertly crafted to zero in on various types of submerged aquatic weeds such as Hydrilla, Elodea, and Pondweed, delivering noticeable results within just 7-14 days2.

    Coverage That Impresses:

    • 10L of AQ200 + 250g Hydrogel treats an impressive 1,800m² of water surface area.
    • Double the impact with 20L of AQ200 + 500g Hydrogel, treating up to 6,000m² of water surface area.

    Application Guidelines for Optimal Results:

    1. Begin by mixing 8L of town/tank water per 250g Hydrogel. Thoroughly blend using a mixing drill or similar tool until a soft gel forms (usually within 10-15 minutes), then incorporate an additional 2L of water per 250g Hydrogel.
    2. Integrate 10L of AQ200 per 250g Hydrogel and mix until a gel-like consistency is achieved (approximately 5-10 minutes). If the gel appears too firm, a touch of extra water will do the trick.
    3. Employ a spray gun equipped with a number 6 nozzle to dispense the Hydrogel/AQ200 mix. Opt for a coarse spray or stream for the best results.
    4. Apply the gel paste directly onto targeted aquatic weeds, creating evenly spaced strips or lines that are approximately 1 meter apart.

    Experience Required:

    This powerhouse combination of products demands advanced preparation and application techniques. It is ideally suited for individuals experienced in handling spray equipment.

    A Note of Caution:

    When using AQ200 to treat water designated for human consumption, livestock watering, or irrigation, please be aware that a 10-day withholding period may apply.

  • Enhance Submerged Aquatic Weed Control with AQ200 and Hydrogel

    When it comes to tackling submerged aquatic weeds, AQ200 in combination with Hydrogel is your ultimate solution. This dynamic duo enables the herbicide to penetrate and target aquatic weeds located at the bottom of waterbodies. Say goodbye to persistent underwater growth and hello to a cleaner water environment.

    For Submerged Aquatic Weed Management, Opt for AQ200 + Hydrogel:

    • Use 10L of AQ200 + 250g of Hydrogel mix, diluted into 10L of town/tank water, for effective control of submerged aquatic weeds.
    • Achieve outstanding results as 10L of AQ200 + 250g Hydrogel covers up to an impressive 1,800m² of water surface area.
    • Elevate your coverage by employing 20L of AQ200 + 500g Hydrogel, treating up to a vast 6,000m² of water surface area.

    Easy Steps to Successful Application:

    1. Start by combining 8L of town/tank water per 250g of Hydrogel. Employ a mixing drill (or equivalent) to thoroughly blend the mixture until a soft gel forms (usually within 10-15 minutes). Follow up by integrating an additional 2L of water per 250g of Hydrogel.
    2. Introduce 10L of AQ200 per 250g of Hydrogel and mix until a well-formed gel consistency is achieved (approximately 5-10 minutes). Should the gel appear too firm, simply add more water for the desired texture.
    3. Apply the Hydrogel/AQ200 mix using a spray gun featuring a coarse spray or stream. For optimal results, consider using a recommended Number 6 nozzle.

  • 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 do I need to mix AQ200 with town or tank water?

    When preparing your AQ200 mixture, it’s crucial to use town or tank water due to its low level of contaminants. Mixing with clean water ensures the potency of AQ200. Avoid using dirty or contaminated water, as it can neutralize the product’s effectiveness, rendering your application ineffective.

    Can you wick wipe with AQ200?

    Yes, wick application is possible, but only when Hydrogel is not used. The choice between wick application and general spraying depends on your situation. General spraying, which thoroughly wets the target aquatics, can also be highly effective.

    What is the best sprayer for applying AQ200?

    A knapsack or backpack sprayer with an adjustable nozzle, available as manual or battery-powered options, is ideal for applying AQ200. These sprayers are conveniently obtainable at local hardware stores like Bunnings, with prices ranging from approximately $40 to $250.

    How does AQ200 work?

    AQ200 functions as an aquatic herbicide that specifically targets the plant’s cell wall, causing it to rupture. This disruption impairs normal cell function, hindering effective photosynthesis. The result is the eventual demise of the plant within 7 to 14 days post-application. As a contact herbicide, AQ200 affects only the parts of the plant it comes into contact with.

    What are the advantages of the Hydrogel?

    Hydrogel’s viscosity allows it to cling to the plant surfaces, preventing runoff and ensuring prolonged contact with the weed. The gel consistency helps AQ200 adhere to the plants, ensuring it remains concentrated on the intended target, minimising the risk of herbicide wastage. Hydrogel’s capacity to hold AQ200 allows the herbicide to sink and reach submerged aquatic weeds at the bottom of waterbodies, effectively tackling hard-to-reach areas. It also aids in distributing AQ200 uniformly, increasing the likelihood of thorough coverage and effective weed control.

    What about aquatic fish and wildlife?

    AQ200 is designed for targeted aquatic weed control and does not have residual effects that would harm aquatic fish and wildlife. After the withholding period, the treated water is safe for human, livestock, pets and crop irrigation, ensuring minimal disruption to aquatic ecosystems.
