How to Apply
Mix the amount of Airmax Shoreline Defense Emergent Weed Control and Treatment Booster Plus (if using) with pond water in a tank sprayer according to label instructions.

Once completely dead, use a cutter and rake to remove dead weeds to prevent an accumulation of dead plant material and muck.

Chemical Application Best Practices
Anytime you use chemicals to treat algae or weeds with Shoreline Defense Emergent Weed Control aquatic herbicide, please keep in mind the following:
- Treat your pond in sections. Treat only half the pond at a time. During hot weather or when treating heavy growth, it is important to treat no more than 1/4 of your pond at a time and wait the full 14 days before re-applying. This helps lower the risk of fish loss during hot weather or when treating heavy growth.
- Once the algae or weeds have browned & died, use a rake to remove as much dead material as possible. This prevents an accumulation of dead plant material and muck.
- Take a proactive approach to pond management. Use Airmax EcoBoost PRx, PondClear, MuckAway, and Pond Dye to keep your pond looking great.
