Why Choose Navigate Herbicide?

Comprehensive Weed Control
Navigate Herbicide targets and controls a variety of aquatic weeds. Whether dealing with water stargrass, bladderwort, white and yellow water lilies, watershield, or water chestnut, Navigate offers a reliable solution to keep your pond free of these nuisances. The herbicide works best when weeds are actively growing, making spring and early summer ideal times for application.

Effective and Efficient Application
For optimal results, spread Navigate Herbicide evenly throughout the treatment area using a broadcasting spreader. Application rates vary based on the type of weed: use 100 pounds per acre for milfoil and up to 200 pounds per acre for resistant plants like spatterdock and watershield. Always ensure weeds are present before application for maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Navigate Herbicide

• Targeted Action: Navigate Herbicide is formulated to control specific invasive species, ensuring a targeted and efficient approach to weed management.
• Long-Lasting Results: Applying Navigate in the spring and early summer minimizes the amount of material needed, reduces the number of dead weeds, and extends the weed-free period.
• Seasonal Versatility: While best applied in the growing seasons, successful treatments can be made in late summer and fall, with the full effect visible the following season.

Enhancing Your Pond Environment

Pond maintenance often involves managing not just the aesthetic and structural aspects, but also the biological balance within the water body. Navigate Herbicide plays a crucial role in this by eliminating unwanted aquatic weeds, thereby preserving the natural beauty and health of your pond. In addition to using herbicides like Navigate, consider incorporating pond microbes to maintain the overall health and balance of your pond ecosystem. These beneficial bacteria help break down organic matter and reduce sludge, promoting a cleaner and healthier pond environment.
