Clipper Herbicide is a specially formulated herbicide that’s designed to help control invasive and nuisance aquatic weeds such as water lettuce, duckweed, cabomba, watermeal, giant salvinia, Eurasian watermilfoil, and more. This fast-acting contact herbicide uses Flumioxazin as its active ingredient for an effective management of undesirable aquatic vegetation in slow moving or quiescent waters. It offers reduced PPE requirements in a water dispersible granule formulation for easier handling and application. It also doesn't accumulate in sediment because it dissipates fast from the water column. It's ideal to use in bayous, canals, drainage ditches, lakes, marshes, ponds (including golf course ponds), and reservoirs.

APPLICATION AND SPRAYER INFORMATION
Mixing Instructions
Volume and Pressure
Apply Clipper Herbicide in 5 gals of water per acre, with a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSI. Application at less than 5 gals per acre may not provide adequate weed control. Higher gallonage applications generally provide more consistent weed control.
Nozzles and Nozzle Operation
Use nozzles that produce flat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles such as diaphragm type nozzles to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. The nozzle must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0 degrees and 15 degrees downward. Do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the wings or rotors.
Surface Application
Apply Clipper Herbicide as a broadcast spray at 6 to 12 ounces of formulated product per acre plus an adjuvant approved for use in aquatics. Apply Clipper Herbicide in a minimum of 30 gals of water per acre to all areas of the water body where weeds exist. Coverage is essential for effective control as all floating weeds need to be exposed to lethal concentrations in all parts of the water body. Any untreated escapes or re-introductions of plants that were not treated will reestablish in areas where surface weeds had previously been controlled. If a second application is required to provide control, it is recommended that a treatment be made once the return of these weeds is first observed, but no sooner than 28 days after the last treatment.
Clipper Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2,4-D, diquat, glyphosate or other registered foliar applied herbicides for enhanced control of floating and emergent weeds. Consult a manufacturer’s label for specific rate restrictions and weeds controlled. Always follow the most restrictive label restrictions and precautions for all products used when making an application involving tank mixes.
Subsurface Application
Apply Clipper Herbicide at a rate that will produce an initial concentration of 200 to 400 ppb (of active ingredient flumioxazin) in the water column. Clipper Herbicide is rapidly absorbed by target plants, but also breaks down quickly in water with a pH greater than 8.5. The pH of water surrounding mats of submersed vegetation can exceed 8.5 by early to mid-day, due to photosynthetic processes. Application of Clipper Herbicide under these conditions may provide only partial weed control, and regrowth is likely. For best control, apply Clipper Herbicide in a minimum of 30 gals of water per acre in the early morning to actively growing weeds and early in the season before surface matting occurs.
Clipper Herbicide and water meal on pond
By Julia on 04/20/2016
So far so good! We have a 1/2 acre pond that for 2 years was covered with water meal. Last summer we heard that grass carp would eat the nasty stuff. We put 8 in the pond and it looked as if they were eating it, but 2 weeks later the pond turned and every fish in the pond died. This year we decided to try Clipper. I waited until the wind blew it all to one side of the pond and then I sprayed it and the edges of the pond. Within 2 days the water meal was 90% gone! Now 2 weeks later, the water is much clearer and there is a sparse sprinkling of water meal that I either missed or it's returning. I'll spray it again when it accumulates on one side of the pond, but I have no doubts that it will kill the stuff.

Fabulous product!
By Ian on 08/31/2016
I used Clipper on a very tough, almost 90% infestation of water shield (also known as dollar bonnet) in my one-acre pond in Georgia. Previously, I had used a well-known systemic aquatic herbicide with limited results. Using the recommended surface application rate for Clipper, I sprayed the weeds in the early morning on two separate occasions. The response has been incredible. Kill showed in a week, and despite being a contact product, Clipper has actually killed leaves not sprayed directly, perhaps through the movement of sprayed surface water. Very impressed with this product. It's highly cost effective (compared with Navigate). The safety data is reassuring. And while we will see how effective the kill was next spring, when (and if) weed re-growth occurs, I am very confident of results. Plus, I still have plenty of Clipper remaining for a re-spray. Highly recommend this product, and also very appreciative of helpful advice received from the team at DoMyOwnPestControl.

Clipper Herbicide

Does the job
By Kat on 08/15/2016
We have a 1/2 acre pond. We had string algae and watermeal. Last year the entire pond was bright green and the water was not visible. This year I decided to try Clipper. Clipper is the only product I've tried so far that controls watermeal. It is also pretty awesome for algae control too. Dissolves easily - I use it with a non-ionic surfactant. I have very much enjoyed seeing my pond this summer as have my neighbors.

Read this review before buying Clipper
By Dan on 08/17/2017
Quite simply, the very best aquatic herbicide for water meal. If you have a poor attention span my first sentence should be enough of an endorsement. If you don't want to kill every fish in your pond continue to read. This particular product is so incredibly effective that it's actually kills its intended plants within minutes of application. It's so potent that a pond completely covered in water meal will be clear within 24 to 48 hours. Here's what happens. This product is applied using a surfactant to stick to the small plants and is only viable for 48 minutes after mixing. Do not mix this product and then go take a lunch thinking you're going to use it afterwards. That will be a very expensive waste of this product and a frustrating waste of your time. Once the product kills the intended target that plant will sink into your pond. Because of the rapid degeneration of organic matter the water will become deprived of oxygen and you may have a large fish kill. The best way to handle Clipper is to follow the instructions EXACTLY and then after one hour turn on an aerator to reintroduce oxygen back into the pond. The safest way to use the product is to spray the entire pond lightly and then in a few days mixed up another batch and respray any remaining vegetation. If you don't have an aerator, you need to contact the customer service department at do my own and get very specific instruction on how to apply this product or you will kill all of your fish and frogs. This is by far the most effective aquatic herbicide I've ever seen however it can sterilize your entire pond if you're not careful. Proceed with caution

There is no issue with horse and wildlife drinking about of a pond treated with Clipper Herbicide. The Clipper label states the following:
There is no post application holding restriction against the use of treated water for drinking or recreation purposes (swimming or fishing).

Clipper Herbicide can still be applied as long as the weeds you are treating for are actively growing and temps are above 60 degrees at time of application.
