Directions & Dosing Snapshot

Use Case Label Rate Application Notes
Floating and marginal weeds, spot spray 2 qts./100 gals. spray carrier (0.5% solution) + 0.25-1.0% v/v approved aquatic wetting agent Wet target weeds completely; do not spray to runoff; repeat escapes within 2 weeks when needed.
Cattails, spot spray before flowering 8 qts./100 gals. spray carrier + approved aquatic wetting agent Use before flowering for best fit; repeat if needed for control.
Floating and marginal weeds, broadcast 0.5-2.0 gals./surface acre + 16-32 oz./acre approved aquatic wetting agent Use enough carrier for thorough coverage; dense mats may need retreatment.

Why Choose a Liquid Contact Herbicide?

  • Fast contact action: For visible knockdown without waiting on a long residual program.
  • One concentrate, many jobs: Handles pond weeds, shoreline cleanup, and selected noncrop burn-down from the same bottle.
  • Better planning confidence: Aquatic rates, depth guidance, and water-use intervals help you size and schedule treatments more accurately.

What is Alligare Diquat Herbicide and what is it best used for?
Alligare Diquat Herbicide is a fast-acting liquid contact herbicide built for pond weeds, shoreline growth, and selected noncrop vegetation management. It is a strong choice when you want visible knockdown quickly and you value a non-residual program that is easier to place into cleanup or maintenance work.
Is it a good choice for duckweed, water hyacinth, hydrilla, and milfoil?
Yes. It is a strong fit for duckweed, water hyacinth, hydrilla, milfoil, and many other floating, marginal, and submerged pond weeds, especially when you want the flexibility of a liquid treatment for spot or broadcast work. The main planning difference is that floating weeds use surface-acre rates, while submerged weeds also factor in water depth.
How fast does Alligare Diquat Herbicide work?
Visible response can start within hours or show over the next few days, which is one of the product’s biggest advantages for buyers who need fast cleanup. Heavy growth, cattails, or submerged infestations can need follow-up treatment, but the initial knockdown is designed to be quick.
How much do I need, and how do the rates work?
The rate depends on what you are treating and how you are applying it. Floating and marginal spot treatments use 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray carrier, floating and marginal broadcasts run 0.5 to 2.0 gallons per surface acre, and submerged weeds use 0.5 to 2.0 gallons per surface acre per 4-foot water depth. That structure makes it easier to size the order accurately once you know the weed type, treatment area, and water depth.
Can I use it for shoreline and noncrop weed control too?
Yes. Beyond aquatic weeds, it also fits selected shoreline, landscape, greenhouse, nursery, dormant turf, and noncrop cleanup work, so buyers can solve more than one vegetation problem with the same concentrate. It is especially useful around nonflooded pond edges, fence lines, and similar cleanup zones where quick contact control matters.
Do I need a surfactant or wetting agent?
In many programs, yes. Aquatic floating and marginal treatments use an approved aquatic wetting agent, while many terrestrial and noncrop uses call for a nonionic surfactant, which helps the spray spread and stick better on target foliage. That extra step usually improves consistency rather than adding unnecessary hassle.
Can it control algae?
It can suppress certain filamentous algae, specifically Spirogyra and Pithophora, but it is primarily a weed-control product rather than a broad algae program. If algae is the main problem, buyers usually get better planning clarity by treating diquat as the weed tool and pairing overall pond management to the algae pressure they actually have.
How soon can I use treated pond water again?
That depends on the treatment rate and how you want to use the water afterward. Fishing and swimming have no waiting period on the label, livestock and domestic animal consumption is 1 day, drinking water is 1 to 3 days depending on rate, turf and landscape irrigation is 1 to 3 days, and food crop or production ornamental spray and irrigation uses are 5 days. This is one of the best questions to settle before you buy, because it affects timing more than chemistry.
Why do pond weeds or algae come back, and should I add beneficial microbes after treatment?
Because killing weeds or algae is not the same as removing the organic load that feeds future growth. As treated biomass dies, settles, and decomposes, it can add sludge and nutrients back into the system, so beneficial microbes are a smart long-term complement after chemical knockdown. That gives you fast control now and a better path toward reducing repeat pressure over time.
Should I buy a quart, gallon, or 2.5-gallon size?
A quart makes sense for smaller spot jobs and lighter shoreline work, while a gallon or 2.5-gallon size is better for repeated treatments, larger infestations, or multi-site work. The best size is driven by surface acres, water depth, and whether you are spot spraying or broadcasting, so it is worth sizing the order from the rate table instead of guessing from pond name alone.

Started using diquat in 2023 for duckweed, coontail and grassy type weeds. Product does an effective job. Paired with blue dye, ntmax, hydrothol to take care of the chara. Love it!

Phil, FL
Really works!

Verified Purchase

Product does an amazing job when applied by the label and with surfactant added. I work for an Amusement park and we use the same product there. Good product!

Fish safe

Verified Purchase

Gets rid if the growth and does not bother the fish or ducks.

Caise Hanson, SD
Great for both lake weed control and ground plants

Verified Purchase

Great control product for all growth in and around our Industrial wastewater lagoons. We apply several times per year to keep growth minimized.

Diane S.
Works very well

Verified Purchase

Works very well for clearing large areas that have weeds and floating mass. Kills the weeds by the next day.

Trisha, PA
works sort of

Verified Purchase

First spray turned the weeds around our youth camp beach area brown. Weeds started coming back 2 weeks later. Sprayed again, same things. Adding aquathol super k and nt-max sludge digester to end this and clean the area.
