Product Description

Whole-Pond Fluridone Control Made Easier

Alligare Fluridone RTU is built for small pond owners who want a direct, fluridone-based option without setting up spray equipment. The ready-to-use liquid goes straight into the water and is suited to man-made or natural ponds with limited or no outflow. Because fluridone works systemically and needs extended exposure, it is best for planned whole-pond weed management instead of quick spot cleanup.


Key Features & Benefits

Feature Benefit
3.79% fluridone Uses a proven systemic aquatic herbicide active for gradual whole-plant control.
Ready-to-use liquid Goes directly into pond water without a separate dilution step.
Day 1, Day 21, Day 42 schedule Helps maintain the extended exposure period fluridone needs to work.
Low-flow pond fit Designed for ponds with limited or no outflow where contact time can be maintained.
Broad aquatic weed range Fits common pond problems including duckweed, hydrilla, coontail, milfoil, and pondweeds.

Directions & Dosing Snapshot

Use Case Label Rate Application Notes
Schedule 1 aquatic weed control Day 1: pond acres x average depth in feet = quarts Apply when weeds are beginning to grow and actively growing.
Schedule 1 follow-up applications Day 21: acres x depth x 0.5 = quarts; Day 42: acres x depth x 0.5 = quarts Round up to the nearest 0.5 quart.
Schedule 2 partial common watermeal control Day 1: acres x depth x 1.5 = quarts Use only for the higher-rate watermeal schedule.
Schedule 2 follow-up applications Day 21: acres x depth x 0.75 = quarts; Day 42: acres x depth x 0.75 = quarts Round up to the nearest 0.5 quart.
Seasonal maximum Do not exceed 3 quarts per acre-foot in one growing season One acre-foot equals 1 acre of surface area with 1 ft average depth.

Why Choose Ready-to-Use Fluridone?

  • Systemic weed control: Fluridone moves through susceptible aquatic plants for whole-plant results over time.
  • Simpler application: The ready-to-use liquid reduces setup for small pond treatment days.
  • Better planning fit: The phased schedule helps pond owners match treatment to pond size, depth, and contact time.

What is Alligare Fluridone RTU used for?
Alligare Fluridone RTU is a ready-to-use liquid aquatic herbicide for managing aquatic weeds in ponds with limited or no outflow. It is used for whole-pond fluridone treatment where the goal is gradual systemic control instead of a fast surface burn-down. It fits weed problems such as duckweed, hydrilla, common coontail, most pondweeds, most watermilfoils, spatterdock, and water-lily.
Is Alligare Fluridone RTU ready to use?
Yes, Alligare Fluridone RTU is a ready-to-use liquid that goes directly into pond water. That makes it a practical choice for pond owners who want fluridone-based weed control without a separate dilution step. Shake the container before use and apply it into one or multiple locations as needed for the pond.
How much Alligare Fluridone RTU do I need for my pond?
Alligare Fluridone RTU is measured by pond surface acres and average depth in feet. For Schedule 1 aquatic weed control, Day 1 uses pond acres x average depth = quarts, and Day 21 and Day 42 each use pond acres x average depth x 0.5 = quarts. For partial common watermeal control under Schedule 2, Day 1 uses acres x depth x 1.5 = quarts, and Day 21 and Day 42 each use acres x depth x 0.75 = quarts.
What pond weeds does Alligare Fluridone RTU control?
Alligare Fluridone RTU is used for aquatic weeds such as common duckweed, hydrilla, common coontail, naiad, most pondweeds, most watermilfoils, spatterdock, and water-lily. It also has a separate partial-control schedule for common watermeal and several other listed aquatic weeds. Match the target weed to the correct schedule before deciding how many quarts to use.
How fast does Alligare Fluridone RTU work?
Alligare Fluridone RTU works gradually, with treated aquatic plants wilting or turning white in 3 to 6 weeks. Fluridone needs extended contact with the weeds, and the product is intended to remain in contact for at least 45 days for full effect. It is a better fit for planned whole-pond management than for shoppers expecting overnight cleanup.
When should I apply Alligare Fluridone RTU?
Alligare Fluridone RTU works best when aquatic weeds are beginning to grow and actively growing. Apply in dry, sunny, low-wind conditions and avoid application when rain is expected within 24 hours. Ponds with limited or no outflow are the best fit because dilution and rapid water movement can reduce performance.
Can I use Alligare Fluridone RTU for spot treating pond weeds?
Alligare Fluridone RTU is best approached as a whole-pond treatment, not a quick spot-treatment product. The liquid disperses through the pond water and depends on sustained contact time. For small isolated weed patches or fast cosmetic cleanup, another labeled aquatic herbicide approach can be a better fit.
Can I swim, fish, or use livestock water after applying Alligare Fluridone RTU?
Yes, swimming, fishing, and livestock or pet water use are not generally restricted after application. New York has a 24-hour swimming restriction for treated waters. Always check the directions for your state and water-use situation before treating.
Does treated pond water have irrigation restrictions?
Yes, treated water has irrigation restrictions that matter before purchase. Do not use treated water to irrigate crops, established turf, or ornamental plants for 30 days after the last application. Do not use treated water for seedling crops, seedling grasses, or new plantings for 60 days after the last application.
Should I use beneficial pond microbes with Alligare Fluridone RTU?
Yes, beneficial pond microbes can be a smart long-term complement after chemical weed treatment. Killing aquatic weeds is not the same as removing the organic load that can fuel repeat growth, because dead plant material settles and decomposes in the pond. Microbes help break down sludge and excess organics over time, supporting a more balanced pond plan after fluridone does the weed-control work.
