Description
Professional Control for Emerged Weeds, Brush, and Shoreline Growth
Alligare Glyphosate 5.4 is a concentrated glyphosate herbicide for broad, flexible control across aquatic edges, wetlands, canals, ditch banks, rights-of-way, and other non-crop areas. Its systemic, postemergent action targets emerged vegetation from annual weeds to woody brush, while the 2.5-gallon size fits repeat use, larger treatment plans, and refill-based spray programs.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 53.8% glyphosate IPA salt | Delivers a concentrated professional formula for flexible dilution and site planning. |
| Systemic postemergent action | Moves through actively growing foliage to control more than surface burn-back. |
| No soil residual activity | Targets current growth without leaving lingering soil activity behind. |
| Aquatic and non-crop labeling | Fits ponds, canals, ditches, wetlands, wildlife sites, and land management work. |
| 2.5-gallon package | Well suited for refill workflows, larger properties, and recurring vegetation control. |
Directions & Dosing Snapshot
| Use Case | Label Rate | Application Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Waterhyacinth | 5 to 6 pt/A broadcast or 0.75% to 1% hand-held | Apply at or after early bloom; visual symptoms may take 3+ weeks. |
| Waterlettuce | 0.75% to 1% hand-held | Higher rate for heavy infestations; spring treatments may need retreatment. |
| Waterprimrose | 0.75% hand-held | Apply at or beyond bloom before fall color change; thorough coverage matters. |
| Torpedograss | 6 to 7.5 pt/A broadcast or 0.75% to 1.5% hand-held | Higher rates fit partially submerged plants and floating mats; repeat treatments required. |
| Woody brush and trees | 3 to 7.5 pt/A broadcast or 0.75% to 1.5% hand-held | Apply to actively growing foliage after full leaf expansion for best uptake. |
| Wiper applications | 1 gal product + 2 gal water for a 33% solution | Add nonionic surfactant at 10% of total solution; double pass can improve control. |
| Single over-water broadcast maximum | 3.75 qt/A | Do not spray open bodies of water where weeds do not exist. |
Always follow the full label for complete directions, restrictions, and site-specific requirements.

Why Choose a Concentrated Glyphosate Herbicide?
- Systemic reach: Targets emerged vegetation through the plant, not just the leaf surface.
- Flexible program fit: Concentrated strength works well for hand-held spot work, refill tanks, and larger acreage planning.
- Easy to choose: A strong match when you need one non-selective concentrate for shoreline, canal, ditch, and non-crop vegetation control.
