Availability: 40 lb. bags EPA Reg. No. 8959-55 9.87% Copper Ethylenediamine Complex (3.41% Copper) This product is a granular chelated copper formulation that effectively controls

copper-sensitive species Rate calculated up to 80 lbs. per acre-ft based on plant height and

density. Can be broadcast spread Select low range rate for light to moderate growth and upper

range rate for heavy infestations. Light to moderate growth is defined as a treatment area where submersed plants have not reached the water surface (“topped out”) and less than 65% of the bottom or water surface(in the case of floating plants) is covered with target plants. Heavy Infestations are areas where submersed vegetation growth has reached the water surface and/or bottom growth cover more than 65% of the treatment area. Do not apply more than 1.0 ppm copper.

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PRODUCT LABEL.
