Application
First identify the target aquatic plant(s), determine the volume of water to be
treated in acre-feet, and refer to the Argos Specimen Label for determining
target concentrations and complete application use directions. Contact with
algae will be improved by breaking apart heavy surface mats before applications.
Treat heavy infestations in segments of no more than 33% of the surface area to
avoid dissolved oxygen loss. For improved efficacy, treat when plants are
actively growing under calm conditions. Contact time should be at least 3 hours.
Water treated with Argos has no water use restrictions. Consult label for
complete application directions. Argos
