GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS RLP APPROVED
AgriTec will eliminate a broad range of algae and control the growth
of resistant species in
various situations.
Treat shoreline areas first to avoid trapping fish in shallows. In
ponds containing fish, treat
only 1/3 of the area at a time to avoid oxygen depletion of the water
caused by decaying
vegetation. Allow 10-15 days for oxygen levels to recover before
continuing treatment.
Water treated with AgriTec is suitable for use on plants, e.g. water
of sports grounds and
ornamental plants.
