Sonar Genesis Aquatic Herbicide 1 Gallon
$35472
Sonar Genesis is a liquid fluridone herbicide for freshwater ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and canals when you want systemic weed control with precise dosing. It moves through plants from shoots and roots, starts showing bleaching symptoms in 7 to 10 days, and keeps working as the program develops. The 1 gallon formulation is EPA-registered and easy to measure.
- Visible progress; bleaching symptoms can begin in 7 to 10 days
- Systemic reach; works through plants, not just surface growth
- Long-contact control; target programs hold concentration 45 days or longer
- Broad site fit; for ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and canals
- Water-use flexibility; no wait for swimming, fishing, drinking, or livestock use at label rates
- Measured confidence; ppb-based dosing supports exact treatment planning
Choose Sonar Genesis when you need a longer-working fluridone program.

Product Description
Precise fluridone control for freshwater weed programs
Sonar Genesis is for buyers who want systemic freshwater weed control with more planning precision than a simple pour treatment. Its 6.3% fluridone formulation fits ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and canals where depth, flow, and target species affect rate selection. It can be metered, sprayed, or used on labeled foliar and sediment sites.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 6.3% fluridone concentrate | Supports precise ppb-based treatment planning. |
| Systemic uptake | Works through susceptible plants from shoots and roots. |
| Multiple delivery options | Can be metered, sprayed, or used on labeled foliar and sediment sites. |
| Non-corrosive to equipment | Reduces a common handling concern. |
| 1 gallon easy-measure jug | Simplifies dose planning for larger freshwater sites. |
Directions & Dosing Snapshot
| Use Case | Label Rate | Application Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ponds, single application | 30 to 90 ppb | Use the higher end for dense weed mass, harder species, and ponds under 5 acres with average depth under 4 feet; annual sum max 90 ppb. |
| Whole lakes or reservoirs | Single: 10 to 90 ppb; split or multiple: initial 4 to 50 ppb | Lower rates may improve selectivity for Eurasian watermilfoil and curlyleaf pondweed. Split programs should maintain sufficient concentration for at least 45 days; annual sum max 150 ppb. |
| Partial lakes or reservoirs | 30 to 150 ppb single, or split applications | Use higher rates where untreated water may dilute the zone; within 1/4 mile of a functioning potable water intake, no single application may exceed 20 ppb and split or multiple programs require FasTEST. |
| Canals | Static: 30 to 150 ppb; moving water: maintain 10 to 40 ppb | Moving-water programs should hold target concentration for at least 45 days. |
| Dry sediments or floating, topped-out, or emerged vegetation | Max 4 gal per surface acre per annual growth cycle | Use 30 to 100 gal spray solution per surface acre on dry sediments; use 20 to 100 gal per surface acre on floating, topped-out, or emerged vegetation. Spot treatments may use up to 5% product by volume when the total rate stays at or below 4 gal per surface acre. |
Always follow the full label for complete directions, restrictions, and site-specific requirements.
Comparison Table
| Sonar Genesis | Ready-to-use fluridone liquid | Pelletized fluridone program | Alternate chemistry aquatic herbicide | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism / style | Systemic fluridone concentrate | Systemic fluridone, ready-to-use liquid | Systemic fluridone pellets | Varies by chemistry |
| Dosing framework | ppb concentration and site depth drive rate | Product-size or label dose system | Weight-based or acre-foot program | Varies by label |
| Typical site fit | Ponds, lakes, reservoirs, canals, and labeled foliar or sediment work | Convenience-first pond treatments | Broadcast pellet programs and target zones | Non-fluridone option |
| Water-use context | 0-day wait for drinking, fishing, swimming, and livestock/pet use at 150 ppb or less; irrigation and potable intake rules still apply | Varies by label | Varies by label | Varies by chemistry |
| Application setup | Meter, spray, or direct-meter | Lower setup, label specific | Broadcast application style | Varies by product |
Why Choose a precision liquid fluridone program?
- Systemic reach: Fluridone works through susceptible plants over time instead of only treating exposed top growth.
- Planning control: ppb-based dosing gives buyers a clearer framework for matching acreage, depth, and target weeds.
- Buyer confidence: EPA-registered label directions cover ponds, lakes, reservoirs, canals, and labeled foliar or sediment uses.

Only one that works on watermeal. Satisfied.

We were completely freaked out but once we started to see the difference life was great again! We have flow in our pond so needed twice as much as we thought, but no more weeds! Dealt with weeds for many years - no more!

I use Sonar brand only. Unlike the cheap stuff, it seems like it always gets the job done.

This product performed as stated on duck weed. Highly recommended just use as directed on the label.

Pour in sprayer. Add water. Spray. Make sure you purchase enoguh last year we wasted money getting too little. Costs a bit but worth it.

Finally get to see our water this year. Good stuff. Easy.

I tried the cheap brands and several mixed concoctions over the last 2 years and nothing has worked for more that a month. Spoke with tech support and went with Genesis and the pond was completely cleared of every last speck of the watermeal. So happy thanks guys!
Verified Purchase
Expensive but awesome product. Did exactly what it was supposed to do. Will be back if needed.
Verified Purchase
My entire 1/4 acre pond was covered with duckweed which showed up last year and came back this year with a vengeance. I applied the product and was shocked at how it wiped out all of the duckweed within 20 days. I cut the treatment in doses and applied at day 1, 7 and 21 days. Perfect product.

Gets the job done. Easy to mix. Will buy again.

Worked in 2 treatment and took about 2 months.

This brand works for duckweed in 2 weeks. We have a small 50' x 60' yard pond which was covered with duckweed and another unidentified plant. Applied the product from the shoreline with a sprayer and it cleared the pond of both weeds.
