Sonar AS Aquatic Herbicide is a 41.7% fluridone based aquatic herbicide that effectively kills most lake and pond weeds. It is very safe and simple to use, lasts all season long, and is our best selling and overall most favorite herbicide. The fluridone does not immediately kill the weeds upon application, but rather starves the plants and keeps them from growing by interrupting their process of photosynthesis!

We use Sonar AS at varying doses to effectively control the following types of aquatic vegetation: Duckweed, Watermeal, Watershield, Naiad, Eurasian Watermilfoil, Water Lillies, american lotus, and most other pondweeds.
Application Tips:
Sonar AS is not a contact herbicide and should not be sprayed directly onto the vegetation. It is rather a whole lake treatment that needs to be diluted into the entire water column. The easiest and best way to apply Sonar AS is to pour approximately 8 oz into a 5 gallon bucket of water and simply pour the mixture across your lake or pond. It works best if applied early in the growing season. Dramatic results can be expected in 3-6 weeks.
Application Rates:
•Watermeal – 90 ppb or typically 1 quart per acre
•Duckweed – 90 ppb or typically 1 quart per acre
•Watershield – 50-60 ppb or typically 1 pint per acre
•Water Lilly – 75 ppb or typically 24 oz per acre
•Eurasian Watermilfoil – 50 ppb or typically 1 pint per acre
•Curly Leaf Pond Weed – 50 ppb or typically 1 pint per acre
Water Use Restrictions:
Sonar AS is very safe for fish, fishing, animals, and swimming, even the same day of application. The only water use restriction it has is that irrigating is not recommended for 21-45 days following application. The fluridone could kill your plants if you use enough of the water for irrigating!
