Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar), manufactured by Alligare, is a powerful selective aquatic herbicide replacing Sonar AS to control various types of water weeds like duckweeds and plants growing in freshwater areas like ponds, lakes, drainage canals, and more for up to a year or longer, without harming desired foliage.
This products active ingredient Fluridone 41.7% is an organic chemical that will eliminate troublesome aquatic weeds slowly within 45 to 90 days without losing oxygen levels that may harm fish.
Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) will kill plants that float on the top of the water or that grow on the bottom without interruption fishing, swimming, drinking, and other activities. Once applied, treated water can be used immediately for swimming, drinking (potable), fishing, thus allowing for recreational activities to continue.
Tools Needed
To apply Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar), a skid sprayer, backpack sprayer, or pump sprayer is needed. We suggest using weighted trailing hoses to make underwater applications for submerged vegetation.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) you will need by calculating the size of the treatment area. For aquatic applications, you will need to calculate the surface area acreage by measuring length x width in feet to get square feet and dividing by 44. You will also need the average water depth in feet of the treatment site by measuring different locations of the water body and dividing the measurements by how many measurements made. Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) applications to ponds can be measured at a ppb (parts per billion) concentration of 45 ppb at 3.8 fl. oz. per acre for every foot of average water depth, or 90 ppb at 7.7 fl. oz per acre per foot of depth. For example, if you measured an average water depth of 3 feet for your waterbody, you would need to mix 11.8 fl. oz. for the 45 ppb concentration or 23.4 fl. oz. for the 90 ppb concentration per treated acre. Applications should be made in 5 to 100 gallons of water per acre (Check the application rate table for details).
- Step 2: In a sprayer of your choice, fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 of the way with water. If using a skid sprayer, begin the agitation process during this step. Shake the Fluridone container well and then add the correct amount of Fluridone with a parts per billion (ppb) to average depth rate to the tank and continue the agitation process during application.
- Step 3: Make a single application or split applications depending on the size and conditions of your waterbody. Spray the surface or subsurface evenly with the Fluridone mixture until the entire area has been treated. For effective control, contact of this product with the target plants must be maintained for at least 45 days. Effective control is reduced if conditions exist that dilute the concentration of this product in the water.
Where to Use
Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide can be used on freshwater ponds, lakes, reservoirs, drainage canals and irrigation canals (including dry or dewatered areas of these sites).
Do not apply to saltwater or brackish water areas. With the proper hoses and equipment, it can be applied to vegetation that grows on the bottom of the body of water.
When to Use
Apply Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) upon observing the emergence of aquatic weeds on your water body. Optimum results are achieved when this product is applied before weeds begin to actively grow.
Safety Information
Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) is safe to use around children, pets, and livestock when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying the product.
If application rates are 150 ppb or less, treated water may be used immediately with no waiting period for drinking (potable) water (including watering livestock and pets), fishing or swimming.
Special Considerations
Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide has a list of water plants that it will control, a list it will partially control and a list it will not control at all. It is important to read the product label and know the type of plants needing to be controlled before making applications of Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide.
Water treated with Fluridone Aquatic Herbicide (Sonar) should not be used for irrigation for 30 days following application.

Aweso.e product
If you want a single source for pristine stock pond, stock tank or lake water, this is your solution. If the price scares you, you can't afford clean water anyway.

Q:I can figure out how much fluridone I need but cannot find how much water to mix it with.6/9/17A:Make surface or subsurface applications using conventional spray equipment. Use weighted trailing hoses to apply this product near the surface of the hydrosoil. Make applications with a spray volume of 5 to 100 gallons per acre. So it will depend on how you are planning on applying the product.
