Clearcast, a new product from BASF ProVM is designed for vegetation management professionals who require selective aquatic and shoreline weed control with minimal irrigation limitations. It controls target weeds, leaving desirables unaffected, making it ideal for aquatic areas that support wildlife habitat, fishing and other recreational activities.

Applications showed good control of floating, emerged and shoreline species such as common salvinia, water hyacinth, watershield, water lily, cattail, phragmites and giant reed. Additionally, targeted applications can control invasive exotics such as Chinese tallowtree without harming desirable hardwood vegetation.

According to the EPA, it is classified as practically nontoxic to birds, fish, algae and aquatic invertebrates. With a tolerance exemption by the EPA, that means there are no food residue limits for Clearcast in fish, shellfish, crustaceans or irrigated crops, when used as labeled. It may be applied in a variety of ways, including directly to water for the control of submerged aquatic plant species, and is ideal for golf course ponds and irrigation canals and ditches.?EUR??,,????'?????<
