DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply Aquaneat Liquid in mid- to late season. Best results
are obtained when applied to actively growing, welldeveloped foliage. A six-hour rain-free period following
application is required for proper herbicide absorption.
Provides effective control of most green vegetation.
Use 1.0 to 2.0 oz. of Aquaneat Liquid and 0.5 to 1.0 oz. of
Cygnet Plus. Add water to make 1 gallon of solution. Apply
with a Constructor Tank Sprayer. Uniformly wet foliage to
the point of runoff.
Coverage with Aquaneat Liquid varies depending on the
type of weed treated and density of growth. Typically 100
gallons of spray solution will cover 1 acre. Well-established
perennial weeds such as cattails and water lilies may
require a second treatment in three weeks.
Water in areas treated with Aquaneat Liquid has no use
restrictions.

AQUANEAT
LIQUID
Aquaneat Liquid with glyphosate is a broad spectrum, root
killing, system herbicide. Controls a broad spectrum of
floating and emersed weeds in and around surface waters.
Great on land, too!
Thorough systemic action. Applied directly to foliage
exposed in air, Aquaneat Liquid is absorbed by the weed,
and moves throughout killing roots and all.
Effective on weeds which have most of their foliage above
water. Will not work on submersed weeds.
Initial results occur in 2-4 days. Results begin with wilting
and yellowing followed by full browning. Well-established
heavy growth will require 1 to 3 weeks to show results.

*** = Excellent
** = Good
* = Fair
In water less than 3 feet deep
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
To apply Cutrine-Plus Liquid, determine the volume of
water to be treated in acre-feet. For Filamentous Algae and
Planktonic Algae, use 1 gallon of Cutrine-Plus Liquid per 1.5
acre-feet of water to be treated. For Chara, use 2 gallons of
Cutrine-Plus Liquid per 1.5 acre-feet of water to be treated.
Dilute with a minimum of 9 parts water. Spray uniformly
over the water surface, allowing the material to rain down
in coarse droplets for better surface penetration.
Contact with Filamentous Algae will be improved by
breaking apart heavy surface mats before application.
Use Cygnet Plus to increase penetration and contact.
Treat heavy infestations in sections of 1/3 to 1/2 of the total
algae volume in to avoid oxygen depletion. When treating
sections, allow 5 to 7 days before continuing to untreated
sections.
Contains NO corrosive sulfates.

To order, call Vincent Earthmoving
815-8858-22024
CUTRINE-PLUS
LIQUID
Cutrine-Plus Liquid is ideal for treating surface growth of
planktonic algae and floating mats of filamentous algae.
Cutrine-Plus 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 water
hardness test strips. Do not use in water containing Koi or
hybrid goldfish.

In water less than 3 feet deep
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Algae can be controlled with as little as 0.2 ppm of Hydrothol 191
Granular when the entire pond is treated. For longer term control or
post treatments, use 0.5 to 1.5 ppm. Repeat treatment when growth
reappears. For floating mats, scatter uniformly over the surface of the
mat.
For weeds, the recommended application rate for Hyrdrothol 191
Granular ranges from 0.5 to 3.0 ppm. For most Pondweeds growing in
lakes or ponds, 1.0 to 2.0 ppm will give excellent control.This rate is
equivalent to 5 to 10 lbs. of Hydrothol 191 Granular per 1,000 sq. ft. at
an average depth of 4 feet. Adjust this quantity of material up or down
depending on average depth. At a 6-foot average depth, use 560% more
material per 1,000 sq. ft. When treating an entire pond, you can use
25% to 50% less material and still achieve excellent control.
Determine pounds of material to use for lakes or ponds by multiplying
(the application rate in ppm) x (average depth in feet) x (1.25). This
will give the number of pounds o Hydrothol 191 Granular to use on
1,000 sq. ft.
Heavily infested irrigation canals or drainage ditches will require 3.0
to 5.0 ppm of Hydrothol 191 Granular. Determine pounds of material
to sue for irrigation canals or drainage ditches by multiplying (the
application rate in ppm) x (1000’s of linear feet) x (cross section in sq.
ft.) x (1.25).
Treat heavy infestations in sections of 1/3 to 1/2 of the total weed volume to avoid oxygen depletion. Allow 5 to 7 days before continuing to
untreated sections. Water in areas treated with Hyrdrothol 191
Granular should not be used for irrigation, human or animal consumption for 7 to 25 days depending on the application rate.

HYDROTHOL 191
GRANULAR
Hydrothol 191 Granular with alkylamine endothall is a selective,
rapid-acting, contact herbicide and algaecide. Controls submersed
weeds and algae in lakes, ponds, irrigation canals, and drainage
ditches. Works rapidly enough to be effective in both still and
slow moving water. May be harmful to fish at recommended application rates.
Aquathol with a boost. The physical form, mode of action, and
general use of Hydrothol 191 Granular are similar to Aquathol
Super K Granular. Where fish are present, application of
Hydrothol 191 Granular at rates over 10 ppm should be used only
for spot treatments, narrow margins, or where some fish kill is
acceptable. Do not treat more than 10% of lake or pond at one time
at application rates above 1.0 ppm. When treating lakes or ponds
with Hyrdrothol 191 Granular, begin at the shoreline and work
toward the center. Apply parallel to the shoreline. This will herd
fish away from the treated area into deeper untreated portions of
the lake or pond.

CYGNET MUKK BUSSTER
GRANULAR
Mukk Busster is a specially formulated microbial pellet
designed to decrease levels of organic sediment in lakes and
ponds while reducing odors and imporving water clarity.
The pellets sink quickly, maintaining their integrity and
targeting ‘muck’ on the bottom. Once on the bottom, the
pellet dissolves evenly and releases bacteria and enzymes
(Lipase, Protease, Amylase and Cellulase) which begin
digesting leaf litter, dead algae cells, grass clippings, dead
plant matter and other components commonly found in
organic pond and lake “muck” sediment. Mukk Busster
does not contain
pathogenic bacteria and it is fish and wildlife friendly.
Contains 3 billion CFU/gram (Colony-forming units).

Aquashade and Cygnet Select or both very popular dyes for
natural ponds and lakes. Early application is critical as
these products work by preventing growth, not killing it.
Aquashade tints your water a beautiful turquoise shade of
blue. Cygnet Select has more of a true blue color.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Pour directly into the water. Dyes disperse within several
hours by natural water movement.
The entire pond volume should be treated. Use where there
is minimal inflow and outflow of water. Additional applications will be needed at 1 to 4 week intervals as dyes are
broken down by sunlight.
Safe for Goldfish and Koi.
Use 1.0 gallon of per 4.0 acre-feet of water (1 surface acre
with an average depth of 4 feet).
Water in areas treated should not be used for human
drinking.
