Resistance Warning:
Shark Aquatic Herbicide is a member of the Aryl triazolinone group of
herbicides. Its mode
of action is through a process of membrane disruption, which is
initiated by the inhibition
of the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase. This inhibition interferes
with the chlorophyll
biosynthetic pathway. For weed resistance management Shark is a Group
G herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Shark and other
herbicides that inhibit
the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase may exist through normal genetic
variabilit

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Shark
®
Aquatic Herbicide is a liquid formulation which is
emulsifiable in water. It is designed to be mixed with water
and applied to aquatic areas for control of floating and
emerged
weeds.
Weed
control
is
more
effective
on
immature, actively growing weeds than on mature, less
actively
growing
weeds.
This
product
is
a
contact
herbicide with little or no residual activity at recommended
use rates.
This product is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of
plants.
Within
a
few
hours
following
application,
the
foliage
of
susceptible
weeds
may
show
signs
of
desiccation,
and
in subsequent
weeks,
necrosis
and
death of the plant.
Extremes in environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
light and pH), may affect the activity of this product. Under
warm
conditions,
herbicide
symptoms
may
be
accelerated.
Evidence suggests that dense infestations of Cabomba
may lead to lower levels of control. Furthermore, this
product is a contact herbicide and usually req
