Reward Herbicide, manufactured by Syngenta, is a professional non-selective herbicide that gets rid of unwanted land and aquatic weeds and algae without causing toxicity to the environment or aquatic life.

While systemic herbicides are slowed by cold weather, Reward Herbicide remains effective. If you are looking for fast aquatic weed control that's easy on the surroundings and to protect and beautify your water body this product is the way to go.

Reward Herbicide delivers complete elimination against a broad-spectrum of weeds like poa annua, chickweed and more with minimum application rates for more affordable and effortless control. Even during cold winter months, the visible burn down from this product is apparent in a matter of days.

Tools Needed

To use Reward Herbicide, a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer or professional skid sprayer is needed. We suggest using an adjustable tip nozzle to make effective applications.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Reward Herbicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment areas length and width in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage) to get the total square footage to be treated for land. For aquatic applications, you will need to calculate the surface area by measuring the length and width and the volume of your pond or water body then multiplying them together (length X width X X depth = water volume). For pump sprayer or backpack sprayer spot applications on landscapes, use 0.75 oz of Reward Herbicide with a nonionic surfactant in 1 gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. For aquatic spot treatment sprays with a skid sprayer, use 2 quarts of product plus a non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons of water. Apply at a rate of 1 gallon per surface acre at a depth of 4 feet.
• Step 2: For pump sprayer or backpack sprayer applications, add 1/3 to 1/4 of the water to the spray tank first, then add the correct amount of Reward Herbicide. When applying Reward Herbicide always mix with an approved surfactant such as Alligare 90 at a rate of 0.33 oz. per finished gallon. Add the rest of the water to the sprayer and mix well.
• Step 3: On a fan spray nozzle setting, apply the Reward Herbicide to the target areas until they are completely wet but making sure not to spray to the point of runoff. Additional applications may be needed if treating densely packed weeds or mats. Within 2 weeks make another application if needed. 

Where to Use

Reward Herbicide can be used on land or in various aquatic areas. On land, it can be applied along roadsides, fence lines, parks, golf courses, farmyards, storage areas, and dry non-flooding areas. Approved aquatic areas are ponds, drainage ditches, canals, streams, rivers, and other still or slow-moving bodies of water.

When to Use

Apply Reward Herbicide on actively growing weeds when water temperatures have reached or exceeded approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit, typically during the spring or early summer.

Safety Information

Reward Herbicide is safe to use around pets, livestock animals and children when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Do not graze livestock on treated turf or feed treated thatch to livestock.

Do not allow people or pets to enter treated areas until 24 hours have passed after application. 

Special Considerations

Visual results from Reward Herbicide may occur in a few hours under optimal conditions, or may take a couple of days under cloudy, overcast conditions.
