Why Does fluridone Work So Well?

Controlling Duckweed, Milfoil, Watermeal and other aquatic weeds requires a time tested and proven herbicide with lasting results. Fluridone gets to work quickly and efficiently by inhibiting the weed’s ability to produce carotene – resulting in the degradation of chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll, weeds die while fluridone continues working and protecting for up to 2 seasons! fluridone controls and eliminates a broad range of weeds species with some weeds appearing “sick” after only days. 

Tens of thousands of lakes, lagoons, reservoirs and other water areas have been successfully treated with Fluridone (the ingredients in fluridone) for over 20 years. fluridone Aquatic Herbicide is designed for the management of aquatic vegetation in fresh water ponds, lakes, reservoirs, potable water sources, drainage canals and irrigation canals. Powerful fluridone herbicide contains Fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone), a potent defense against unruly nusiance weed infestation!. 

Once applied, fluridone is absorbed by shoots and roots where it travels systemically in the internal vascular system of aquatic weeds. fluridone inhibits carotene synthesis causing chlorophyll to break down when the weeds are exposed to sunlight. New shoot growth will exhibit a pink or white coloration within 7-10 days of exposure to fluridone with long lasting capabilities making fluridone with Fluridone the herbicide of choice by many aquatic maintenance professionals. For complete weed control, contact with fluridone must be maintained for an extended period of time depending on the severity of the infestation. Also, if conditions exist that dilute the fluridone concentration in the water, effective control may not be achieved and additional application may be necessary. Consult the fluridone label for a list of specific weeds controlled by fluridone, application rates per treated area, preferred timing of application, ideal mixing instructions, and use restrictions for this product. Note, adding professional grade Aquashade pond dye can help assist in the knockdown of target weeds.
