Applied Biochemists, a business of Arch Chemicals, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of specialty algaecides and herbicides for surface water. In a balanced ecosystem, aquatic vegetation can be desirable for aesthetics, stabilizing bottom sediments, producing oxygen and providing food and cover for fish, waterfowl and other aquatic life. However, when aquatic plants reach nuisance levels they can adversely affect aquatic life, impede water use, interfere with recreational activities.

Applied Biochemists' comprehensive line of products offers a variety of options for a particular situation. Chemical selection depends on target plant, water use, the size of the water body, desired formulation and registrations. Contact your local authorities/state pesticide agency for restrictions on buying and applying product, as not all products are registered for use in every area.
