WhiteCap SC selective herbicide is used for the control of aquatic weeds and grasses in fresh water ponds, lakes, and drainage or irrigation canals. It is a proven reformulation of the popular active ingredient fluridone, and effectively controls a wide range of floating, submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation, including Duckweed
Controls and prevents:
Hydrilla, Bladderwort, Watermilfoil, Naiad, Elodea, Water-lily, Pondweed, Coontail and Duckweed.
Application:
For the proper application of WhiteCap, we recommend the use of an Airmax Specialty Pressurized Pond Chemical Tank-Sprayer, and to mix the WhiteCap in it with enough water to fill the tank. Place the spray nozzle directly under the water and disperse in 10 different spots around the pond.
Helpful Hints:
When treating with Whitecap, you always must consider the dilution factor of the water it is being used in. Dilution comes from pond inlets, such as rivers, streams and/or parking lots, also in most cases if a pond receives water from outside source, it must also discharge this extra capacity through an outlet. This outlet will not only take the extra water out of the pond, but it will remove the WhiteCap. To have a successful WhiteCap treatment you will need the product to stay in the water for at least 30 days.
Another enemy of WhiteCap is sunlight; sunlight breaks down Fluridone, WhiteCap's active ingredient, making it ineffective, this is why we never suggest spraying WhiteCap directly onto the plants surface. One way to reduce the effect of sunlight on WhiteCap is through the use of Pond Logic Nature's Blue Pond Dye at the same time as a WhiteCap treatment. This will not only block the sunlight, thus protecting the WhiteCap, but it will provide you with a barometer for how fast the water is leaving the pond. For example if two weeks after using Whitecap, you see no results, you can then ask yourself "is my pond still blue?" If the answer is no, then chances are, the WhiteCap is gone as well.

We had a terrible problem with watermeal each summer, that continued to get thicker and thicker until WhiteCap! It worked after the first application last Spring. We did apply a second bottle mid-summer just to get the last of the growth along the edges! Thank you WhiteCap, now my pond looks great! |

Used entire bottle as directed in a 1/4 acre pond several weeks ago, still waiting for it to have any affect. *****Response from The Pond Guy-Whitecap can take 60-90 days for full results. |

WhiteCap Works! By Kim Machutt of Rushford, , MN |

My husband and I purchased 2 bottles of WhiteCap for a big hydrilla problem in our pond. We were hesitant due to the high price but after about 60 days we noticed the hydrilla starting to work and it has pretty much all died off, all I have to do now is rake it off the top of the pond! We can now fish again. We will be buying WhiteCap again next spring!!! |

We had curly leaf in our 1/3rd acre pond. Our fish loved it, but it was taking over pond. First treatment w/Whitecap was a little late in the year and it worked slowly. Second season we put it in the pond early and had no curly leaf the whole season. I was totally relieved. The amount of work for our pond was quite nill after that. Just a little algae treatment and blue dye. |
