Reward Herbicide

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

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

Reward Herbicide delivers complete elimination against a broad spectrum of weeds, including poa annua, chickweed, and more. It has minimum application rates for more affordable and effortless control. Even during cold winter, the visible burndown from this product is apparent in a matter of days.

Tools Needed

You will need a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or professional skid sprayer. 

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 for land applications (length X width = square footage). For aquatic applications, you will need to calculate the surface area by measuring the length, width, and volume of your water body, then multiplying them together (length X width 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 one-third to one-fourth of the water to the spray tank first, then add the correct amount of Reward Herbicide. When applying Reward Herbicide, always mix it 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: Using a fan spray nozzle, apply the Reward Herbicide to the target areas until completely wet, but do not spray to the point of runoff. Additional applications may be needed if treating densely packed weeds or mats. If needed, make another application within 2 weeks. 

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 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 using 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 take a couple of days under cloudy, overcast conditions.
