Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide, formulated by Alligare, is one of the leading manufactures of vegetation control products.

This product is a non-selective, post-emergent herbicide that is used to kill a wide range of unwanted weeds, woody brush, and trees. It can be used to control unwanted vegetation on land areas and bodies of water. It is ideal for use to eliminate weeds and woody brush growing along roadways, railroads, riverbanks, other non-cropland or rangeland areas.

Glyphosate 5.4 Herbicide works quickly by absorbing into the above-ground foliage, stem, or trunk of the vegetation to provide effective control of unwanted herbaceous and woody plants.

Tools Needed

To apply Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide a hose-end sprayer, backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer or professional skid sprayer is needed. For general applications made with a handheld pump sprayer, it is suggested to perform the Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide and water mixture in a larger container, and then pour the mixture in the handheld pump sprayer tank.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Glyphosate 5.4 you will need by calculating the square footage of the area to be treated. To do this, you will need to measure and multiply the area length times the width (length x width = square footage). The application rate of Glyphosate 5.4 varies depending on where you are spraying and the concentration ratio which range from a 3/4% ratio (1 fl. oz. per gallon to cover 1,000 sq. ft.) up to a 8% ratio (10.33 fl. oz. per gallon to cover 1,000 sq. ft). So for example, if you calculated a 2,000 sq. ft. treatment area and wanted to use a 1% dilution ratio (1.33 fl. oz. per gallon), you would need to mix 2.66 fl. oz. of Glyphosate 5.4 in at least 2 gallons of water.
• Step 2: In a large container, add half of the required amount of water and then add the appropriate amount of Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide to the larger container. Fill the container the rest of the way with the remaining half of water. It is recommended to also use a surfactant. We recommend Alligare 90 Wetting Agent at 0.33 fl. oz. per finished gallon of Solution. Mix well and then pour into the sprayer tank.
• Step 3: Spray targeted weeds and brush until wet You should see visible results within 2 to 4 days. If treating bodies of water that are approved by the product label, only spray areas where targeted weeds are growing.

Where to Use

Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide can be used to control unwanted weeds and various types of vegetation from industrial areas, recreational areas, ponds, lakes, estuaries, ditches, canals, water treatment facilities, wetlands, non-croplands, and more. It is ideal to use to kill weeds in the cracks of sidewalks, roadways, and driveways. Do not apply Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide on turfs, lawns, flowerbeds, crops, or gardens. Do not spray on open bodies of water where weeds and plants are not growing.

When to Use

Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide can be applied anytime unwanted weeds or vegetation are growing and in healthy conditions to effectively absorb the solution through the foliage. Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide should not be applied when targeted plants are stressed, diseased or infested with insects.

Safety Information

Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide is safe to use around pets and children when applied according to the product label. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying Glyphosate 5.4. Allow treated areas to dry before entering, which may take 2 to 3 hours.

Special Considerations

Glyphosate 5.4 Aquatic Herbicide is not a selective herbicide and will kill desired vegetation if it makes contact with the foliage. This product does not control plants which are completely submerged or have a majority of their foliage underwater.
