  • Why is there a withholding period?

    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?

    It’s crucial to use clean town or tank water when preparing your AQ200 mixture. This water contains minimal contaminants, preventing the neutralization of the product. Mixing with dirty or contaminated water can render the application ineffective.

    Can you wick wipe with AQ200?

    Absolutely, wick application is an option depending on your circumstances. However, general spraying works just as effectively, if not better. Thoroughly wetting the target aquatics through spraying is the optimal technique.

    What is the best sprayer to apply with?

    For optimal results, we recommend 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 such as Bunnings, with prices ranging from around $40 to $250.

    How does AQ200 work?

    AQ200 functions as an aquatic herbicide by targeting the plant’s cell wall, leading to its rupture. This disruption prevents normal cell functioning, hindering effective photosynthesis. As a contact herbicide, AQ200 exclusively affects the parts of the plant it comes into contact with. Expect visible results within 7 to 14 days post-application.

    How does AQ200 impact fish and wildlife?

    AQ200 is designed for targeted control of aquatic weeds and does not pose significant risks to fish and wildlife when applied according to instructions. However, it’s advisable to avoid overspray and follow recommended application rates to minimize potential impact on non-target organisms.

    Why does AQ200 require a Wetting Agent?

    The inclusion of a Wetting Agent enhances the effectiveness of AQ200 in aquatic weed control. The Wetting Agent reduces the surface tension of the water, allowing the AQ200 solution to spread evenly and adhere to the target plants. This improved coverage ensures that AQ200 comes into direct contact with the weeds, maximising its herbicidal action. Without the Wetting Agent, the solution might bead up or repel from the plant surfaces, leading to uneven application and potentially reduced efficacy. The combination of AQ200 with a Wetting Agent ensures thorough coverage and optimised results in targeting both free-floating and emergent aquatic weeds.

Azola on the dam - red bloom

Worked very well and on top of some scooping it cleared a completely covered dam in around 3 weeks. Have recommended it to others already
