Know before you buy
No, this herbicide is specifically formulated to target emergent weeds and grasses. It will not harm submerged plants as long as the application is directed at the foliage above the water line.
You can typically expect to see visible results within 2 to 7 days. The systemic action works by traveling down to the roots to ensure the plant is fully controlled.
Treating the entire pond at once can cause a rapid decay of plant matter, which depletes oxygen levels in the water and can be harmful to fish. By treating in sections, you allow the ecosystem to adjust safely.
Once the weeds have turned brown and died, it is recommended to remove the plant matter from the water. This prevents the dead vegetation from sinking to the bottom and contributing to muck buildup.
Yes, you can reapply the product if necessary. However, you must wait at least 14 days between applications to ensure the safety of your pond environment.
Airmax Shoreline Defense is a non-selective, broad-spectrum herbicide, meaning it is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds, grasses, brush, and vines. It is designed for emergent plants that grow above the water surface.
