Ponds: For Whitecap labeling purposes, a pond is defined as a body of
water 10 acres or less in size lakes or Reservoirs: For
Whitecap labeling purposes, a lake or reservoir is defined as greater than
10 acres in size. When only one-half or more of the lake or reservoir is
treated, follow the Pond and Static Canal precautions.
Aquatic plant information
Depending on the use rate, water movement, application timing, weed growth stage
and application method, Whitecap
will control, partially control, or will not control certain aquatic plant
species. The table below categorizes the species when Whitecap is applied
under ideal application conditions at higher to maximum label rates. When lower
rates are used, certain species in the controlled or partially controlled
categories will show increased tolerance to Whitecap. Aquatic plants not
listed may also be controlled, partially controlled, or be tolerant to
Whitecap.
Before applying Whitecap, identify the aquatic
plants to determine their susceptibility to Whitecap.
† Whitecap
when used at the maximum use rate only provides partial control of this species.

Preparation of Whitecap Spray Solution
Determine the amount of area (acres) to be treated. Water depths in the
treatment sites should also be known so that the correct application rate is
selected.
Use the steps below to prepare spray mixtures of Whitecap:
Be sure to shake well the containers of Whitecap before adding the product to
the spray tank during mixing and loading operations.
Add ½ to ¾ the required amount of water to the spray tank. Begin agitation of
the spray mixture and continue agitation during the mixing operations.
Add the required amount of Whitecap to the spray tank during the remainder of
the mixing operation.
Continue agitation of the spray mixture during the herbicide application
operation.
Make surface or subsurface applications using conventional spray equipment. Use
weighted trailing hoses to apply Whitecap near the surface of the hydrosoil.
Make applications with a spray volume of 5 to 100 gallons per acre. A metering
system which mixes concentrated Whitecap with water and then introduces this
slurry into the suction side of the application equipment may also be used.
Note: Whitecap is not corrosive to application equipment.
Tank Mix Recommendations
Tank mixes of Whitecap with other aquatic herbicides and algaecides may provide
greater efficacy and broader weed control or plant selectivity. Refer to the
label for the herbicide or algaecide used as a tank mix with Whitecap for use
directions, precautions, and restrictions.
For additional application rate calculations, refer to the section How To
Calculate Application Rates at the end of this label.

Directions For Application Lakes and Reservoirs
Whitecap is recommended for treatment of both whole lakes and reservoirs and
partial areas of lakes or reservoirs (bays and coves). Target weeds in partial
lake and reservoir treatments which are at least 5 acres in size are more
effectively treated with Whitecap than smaller size areas. Smaller treatment
areas (less than 5 acres) or narrow strips such as boat trails or shorelines may
not produce satisfactory results as Whitecap may be diluted with untreated
water. Due to a number of environmental factors, rate ranges are provided.
Select the rates and application methods based on the specific goals of the
aquatic plant management program at each different site.
