MAGNACIDE™ H Aquatic Herbicide - Biodegradable Aquatic Weed Control

Aquatic Weed Control and Algae Control in Canals and Reservoirs
MAGNACIDE H Aquatic Herbicide provides excellent control of both vascular aquatic weeds and algae providing more effective results than mechanical cleaning. For Canal weed control, a single application generally restores canal flow capacity within 24 hours; weeds disintegrate over a 5 to 10 day period. MAGNACIDE H Aquatic Herbicide has no effect on canal structures and is not corrosive to irrigation equipment.

Easy Application Without Interruption of Irrigation Schedules - Aquatic Weed Control
MAGNACIDE H Aquatic Herbicide is easily applied using a closed system that can be operated by one person; the application process is designed to protect both the applicator and the environment. The treated water can be applied directly to crops thereby allowing water delivery to proceed without interruption.

MAGNACIDE H Herbicide Assists in Maintaining Drip, Micro and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems
When MAGNACIDE H Aquatic Herbicide treatments control aquatic weeds and algae in irrigation systems, the intervals between filter system backwashing is lengthened, and fouling of water conserving irrigation systems is reduced.

Active Ingredient Biodegrades Quickly, Leaving No Residue - Biodegradable Aquatic Weed Control
MAGNACIDE H Aquatic Herbicide mixes thoroughly with water and is not visible during application. The active ingredient in MAGNACIDE H Herbicide is acrolein, a unique material that gives fast, predictable and measurable results. Acrolein is biodegradable aquatic weed control, breaking down to carbon dioxide and water. It does not contain heavy metals and does not leave residues in crops, water or soil. In addition, acrolein does not leach through soil into ground water and does not bioaccumulate in animal tissue.
