WhiteCap™ SC aquatic herbicide provides safe and effective control of many submersed aquatic weeds, such as Hydrilla and Watermilfoil, as well as hard-to-control floating plants like Duckweed, with little to no impact to native, beneficial aquatic plants. WhiteCap SC can be used to manage aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, potable water sources, drainage canals and irrigation canals. Aquatic weeds treated with WhiteCap SC are controlled slowly over a period of 30 to 90 days. This slow mode of action greatly reduces the potential threat of oxygen depletion that many times occurs when large amounts of aquatic weed bio-mass decomposes in a short period of time. WhiteCap SC is effective at rates as low as 10 ppb. This makes WhiteCap SC a safe and costveffective tool for the small and large-scale lake restoration projects. WhiteCap contains 4 pounds Fluridone per gallon.

WhiteCap effectively controls a wide range of floating, submersed and emersed aquatic vegetation, including Hydrilla, Bladderwort, Watermilfoil, Naiad, Elodea, Water-lily, Pondweed, Coontail and Duckweed.

• Selective control. At low use rates, it is safe for most native beneficial aquatic plants;
• WhiteCap SC selectively removes the nuisance plants, while having little impact to desirable species
• Complete control. Readily moves and disperses throughout the water column, providing complete and thorough control of target nuisance aquatic weeds
• Slow control. Works slowly to remove excessive aquatic weeds with minimal impact to aquatic ecosystems
• No human or livestock use restrictions. Water treated is potable water safe and may be used immediately for human recreation and for watering livestock
• Low use rates provide for cost-effective aquatic plant control

General Application

Susceptible aquatic weeds absorb WhiteCap SC through the shoots and roots. For effective control, contact of WhiteCap with the target plant must be maintained for at least 45 days. Effective control is reduced if conditions exist that dilute the concentration of WhiteCap in the water to below labeled rates. Apply WhiteCap as a surface spray or subsurface injection at rates between 10 and 90 ppb for single applications, or if multiple applications are made, do not exceed 150 ppb per growing season.

Water treated with WhiteCap SC at rates greater than 5 ppb must not be used for irrigation of certain crops and newly seeded turf. If the concentration of WhiteCap is less than 10 ppb, established tree crops, established row crops or turf can be irrigated with WhiteCap treated water. Do not apply WhiteCap at rates greater than 20 ppb within ¼ mile of any functioning potable water intake.
