This product is designed to selectively control the weeds listed on the label. While certain other weed may be suppressed, control may be incomplete. Reduced control may occur in lakes where water replacement comes from bottom springs Active Ingredient: 2,4-D 27.6% Pond Weeds Controlled by Navigate Watermilfoil Water Stargrass Bladderwort Water Lily Water Shield Spatterdock Water Chestnut Coontail Identify pond weeds and best chemical treatments here-Aquatic Weed GuideHow to Use Navigate Pond Herbicide Simply sprinkle Navigate in affected areas at a rate of 5-7.5 lbs per 2,000 sq ft. Initial effects occur in 7 to 10 days, with full kill occurring in 3 to 5 weeks. Once weeds die, they sink to the bottom and decompose Muck Remover beneficial bacteria can be applied to break down dead vegetation naturally Application rate varies by target plant, density, and water depth Restrictions: 1-day swimming restriction, 7-day irrigation restriction, 7-day drinking water restriction Full Navigate Safety Data Sheet WHEN TO APPLY Navigate Aquatic Herbicide: For best results, spread this product in the spring and early summer, during the time pond weeds start to grow. If treatments are delayed until weeds form a dense mat or reach the surface, two treatments may be necessary. Make the second treatment when weeds show signs of recovery. Treatments made after September may be less effective depending upon water temperature and weed growth Amounts to use: Rates of application vary with resistance of weed species to the chemical, density of weed mass at time of treatment, stage of growth, water depth, and rate of water fl ow through the treated area. Use the higher rate for dense weeds, when water is more than 8 feet deep and where there is a large volume turnover Susceptible weeds: Water Milfoil (Myriophylum spp.) Water stargrass (Heteranthera dubia) Slightly to moderately resistant weeds: Bladderwort (Utricularia spp.) White water lily (Nymphaea spp.) Yellow water lily or spatterdock (Nuphar spp.) Water shield (Brasenia spp.) Water chestnut (Trapa natans) Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) Repeat treatments may be needed Aquatic use precautions and restrictions floating and emergent weeds: Maximum of 4.0 lbs 2,4-D ae or 21 lbs of this product per surface acre per application.

Do not apply within 21 days of previous application Dissolved oxygen: Fish breathe oxygen in the water and a water/oxygen ratio must be maintained. Decaying weeds use up oxygen, but during the period when this product should be used, the weed mass is fairly sparse and the weed decomposition rate is slow enough so that the water/oxygen
