WALNUT CREEK, CALIF.—Clipper Aquatic Herbicide is now available for use by lawn care operators (LCOs). Clipper controls many tough aquatic plants, including duckweed and watermeal. It also has activity on some algae, according to Dr. Jason Fausey, regional field development manager for Valent Professional Products.

“Clipper is an effective new tool for LCOs that quickly controls some of the toughest aquatic plants they face,” Fausey says. “It’s easy to handle, easy to mix and easy to apply.

“Most importantly,” he adds, “Clipper provides consistent results and activity is observed within three to five days after the application.”

Available in a convenient new 1-lb. package, Clipper dissipates quickly from the water column and does not accumulate in the sediment. It has minimal irrigation restrictions and does not require perfect coverage for maximum results. Available as a water dispersible granule for easy mixing, transport and application, Clipper can be easily applied to small ponds with a backpack sprayer from the shoreline.
