1. Identify the form of algae growth present as one of the following types: Planktonic (suspended), Filamentous (mat forming), or Benthic (Chara/Nitella) and estimate the density of growth (Low, Medium, High). Use Table 1 - Copper Concentration to select the desired PPM (Parts per Million) Copper needed, based upon the algal form and density.
2. Refer to the Table 2 - Product Application Rate and determine gallons of product needed per Acre-foot corresponding to the desired PPM concentration determined in Step #1.Please see page 2 of the label for the charts referenced above. If you are still need of assistance, please feel free to contact the manufacturer directly. Applied Bio Chemists @ (800) 558-5106
