Nautique®

Nautique is a powerful copper-based aquatic herbicide built for fast, localized control of nuisance and exotic aquatic weeds with no water-use or irrigation restrictions.

Product Overview

Fast knockdown and broad-spectrum aquatic weed control.

Keep your water moving with fast in-season control.

Nautique Aquatic Herbicide is a fast-acting contact herbicide that provides localized control of nuisance aquatic vegetation. Its concentrated, copper-based formulation works on contact for spot and local treatment of tough weeds such as hydrilla, Egeria, and southern naiad.

Designed for hard water and tough weeds, Nautique gives managers a flexible treatment tool for canals, ditches, laterals, ponds, reservoirs, golf course ponds, ornamental ponds, potable water sources, and other slow-moving water bodies. It can be injected, surface sprayed, applied through drip or metered pump systems, or incorporated into Precision Pulse / slug treatment programs where appropriate.

Nautique’s copper ions inhibit plant photosynthesis, cutting off the food source of undesired plants and delivering rapid results. Dual chelating agents help keep more active ingredient available in the water column compared with other copper-based herbicides.
