Is Aquaneat Herbicide the best herbicide for killing Phragmites? What is the best time to treat Phragmites with herbicides in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay?
Aqua Neat Aquatic Herbicide is labeled to control Phragmites. Per the product label: In other areas of the US (outside of FL and the counties of other states that border the Gulf of Mexico) apply 4 to 6 pints per acre as a broadcast spray or apply a 3/4 percent solution with hand-held equipment for partial control. For best results, treat during late summer or fall months when plants are actively growing and in full bloom. Due to the dense nature of the vegettation, which may prevent good spray coverage and unevern stages of growth, repeat treatments may be neccessary to maintin control.
