AquaPro Aquatic Herbicide

Glyphosate is a chemical used in several different brands of herbicide, including Roundup. SePro’s glyphosate formulation is called AquaPro. We use this product when appropriate, taking into consideration factors such as:

• The type of vegetation to be treated
• The stage of vegetation growth
• The time of year or season
• The type of water body being treated

How It Works

Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide. It works by moving through the plant tissue and interrupting its growth processes, starting from the point of contact (the leaf) and moving all the way to its root.

Application

This product can be applied on its own or in a mix with other herbicides, depending on the specific needs of the water body being treated. It can be applied from the shore or from a boat.

Restrictions

Glyphosate is used for both aquatic and non-aquatic vegetation management; however, glyphosate formulations must be EPA approved for aquatic use. For aquatic purposes, glyphosate can only be used on emergent or above-water vegetation—it cannot be used as a water column treatment.
