Alligare Diquat Herbicide

Description Alligare Diquat – Liquid Herbicide & Algaecide *recommended for submerged weeds, duckweed, and algae. A fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide containing the active ingredient Diquat Dibromide (37.3%). It is widely used for controlling a broad spectrum of emergent, floating, and submerged weeds in both aquatic and landscape environments. Key Features Mode of Action: As a contact herbicide, Diquat interferes with photosynthesis in the green plant tissue, causing rapid desiccation. Visible effects can appear within a few hours to a couple of days, with complete control in 1 to 15 days, depending on the weed type and conditions. Selectivity: It is non-selective and will kill most plants it contacts; therefore, application requires care to avoid desirable vegetation. Aquatic Use: It is highly recommended for ponds, lakes, drainage ditches, and canals. When used according to label instructions, it is non-toxic to fish and wildlife, with minimal water use restrictions (e.g., no swimming restrictions) Landscape Use: It is also used for non-selective weed control, burn-down, and as a trim and edge tool along driveways, fence lines, and around ornamental gardens. Surfactant Requirement: For best results, it should be mixed with a non-ionic surfactant to ensure complete coverage and absorption by the target weeds. See our product Cide Kick II for more information. Application Considerations Timing: Apply to actively growing, young weeds for optimal results. Application on a sunny day is best as the product works by interfering with photosynthesis. Coverage: Thorough contact and complete coverage of the target weeds are essential for control, as it is a contact herbicide. Water Use Restrictions: None on Swimming or Fishing. Irrigation 5 Days. Safety: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the concentrated product. Do not allow people or pets into treated areas until 24 hours after application. Do Not stir up mud or bottom sediment during the treatment.
