AQ200 Aquatic Herbicide is a Fast-Acting Non-Selective Broad Spectrum Aquatic Herbicide
AQ200 Aquatic Herbicide is a contact aquatic herbicide that is used to kill off aquatic weeds.
When AQ200 Aquatic Herbicide is used as a foliage contact herbicide for free floating, floating aquatic weeds, a surfactant should be added for best results. Our aquatic surfactant, ‘Power 1000’, should be included when applying AQ200. Apply at a rate of 400mL AQ200 Aquatic Herbicide together with 150mL surfactant, and mix together into 100L of water. Using a spray tank device, spray to wet and saturate the aquatic weeds thoroughly. For dense infestations, use at a higher rate.
Use AQ200 Aquatic Herbicide on any Aquatic Weed Infestation

Three of the most common Australian Floating Aquatic Weeds Are:
1. “Duckweed” or Lemna
Duckweed is a very common, tiny, free floating aquatic plant, with leaves varying from less than 1mm up to 1cm in size. Duckweed appears as a green cover on the waters surface and is an indication of nutrient-enriched conditions. It grows rapidly in stationary and slow moving water bodies, especially where nutrient levels are high. If not treated, it can double in numbers within five to seven days.
2. “Azolla” / Red Azolla / Green Azolla or Ferny Azolla
Azolla is another common free floating aquatic plant, with leaves varying in size from 1 to 2.5cm in diameter. Azolla appears in a greenish shade and can turn a reddish
shade in the late afternoon or when exposed to full sunlight over a period of time. Azolla has a fern type leafed appearance with roots trailing below the waters surface. If not treated it can double in numbers within seven days.
3. Salvinia
Salvinia is a declared noxious free floating aquatic weed, in all states of Australia, with the plant measuring up to 20cm long and leaflets of 0.5-3cm wide. The leaves are covered with hairs that repel water and keep it from sinking. Salvinia is capable of choking a water body, it multiplies by fragmentation and can double the area it covers in five days. If not treated it can take over a water body, kill fish and rapidly affect water quality.
