Effective in slow-moving or quiescent waters such as bayous, canals, drainage ditches, reservoirs, and marshes. KnockDown is versatile and breaks down quickly in water without accumulating in the sediment or clogging application sprayers.

When to Apply-  KnockDown Defense has no temperature restriction. Apply when weeds are actively growing. In areas with dense weed vegetation, only treat 1/2 of the waterbody at one time and wait 10-14 days before treating the remaining area. Refrain from re-treating the same section of water within 28 days of application.

How to Apply- Dilute with clean tap water. Dip the spray nozzle several inches into the water when treating submerged weeds and algae. When treating floating plants and algae, evenly spray rain-size droplets over the treatment area. For best results, use Treatment Booster Plus.

Water Use Restrictions- Wait five days before using treated water for irrigation. Do not use water utilized for crawfish farming. Refrain from re-treating the same section of water within 28 days of application.
