Aquatic Surfactants & Spray Adjuvants for Aquatic Herbicides

Aquatic Surfactants for Improved Herbicide & Algaecide Performance

Aquatic surfactants are essential tank-mix partners designed to improve the effectiveness of aquatic herbicides and algaecides used in ponds, lakes, canals, shorelines, drainage ditches, and other aquatic environments. These specialized spray adjuvants help aquatic treatments spread evenly, stick to plant surfaces, and penetrate waxy or water-resistant vegetation for better overall control. Unlike standard surfactants, aquatic-approved surfactants are formulated and labeled specifically for use in and around water. They are commonly used with aquatic herbicides containing glyphosate, triclopyr, diquat, imazapyr, and other active ingredients to maximize coverage and absorption on floating, emerged, and submersed aquatic weeds.

Why Use an Aquatic Surfactant?

Adding an aquatic surfactant to your spray solution can dramatically improve herbicide performance by reducing surface tension and helping the spray solution adhere to target weeds instead of beading up and running off. This results in more consistent coverage, improved uptake, and better vegetation control. Aquatic surfactants are commonly used for:

• ✅ Floating aquatic weed control
• ✅ Submersed aquatic weed treatments
• ✅ Shoreline vegetation management
• ✅ Algae control applications
• ✅ Pond and lake weed management
• ✅ Improved spray coverage and penetration
