    Q
    How many 1-lb. bottles of Clipper Herbicide do I need to treat a 2-acre pond for watermeal?
    A

    Apply Clipper Herbicide as a broadcast spray at 6 to 12 ounces of formulated product per acre plus an adjuvant approved for use in aquatics. Apply Clipper Herbicide in a minimum of 30 gals of water per acre to all areas of the water body where weeds exist. Coverage is essential for effective control as all floating weeds need to be exposed to lethal concentrations in all parts of the water body. Any untreated escapes or re-introductions of plants that were not treated will reestablish in areas where surface weeds had previously been controlled. If a second application is required to provide control, it is recommended that a treatment be made once the return of these weeds is first observed, but no sooner than 28 days after the last treatment.

    Q
    Will Clipper herbicide be harmful to water lilies rooted in the bottom of the pond?
    Is Clipper a direct contact herbicides? We have pesky duckweed that we want to eradicate without harming our desirable water lilies.
    A

    While Clipper Herbicide does not list waterlily as a controlled weed on the product label we cannot say that it would not harm it.  We would recommend checking directly with the manufacturer to be sure it could be used around it with no harm to the roots.  NuFarm can be reached at 800-345-3330.

    Q
    Why can I not us dishwashing detergent as a surfactant with Clipper for floating weeds instead of a surfactant?
    For pond weeds esp. water lettuce and coontail.
    A

    The manufacturer recommends that Clipper be tank mixed with a non-ionic surfactant that contains at least 80% active ingredient. Follow the surfactant manufacturer's label rates. Mixing compatibility should be verified by a jar test before using.
