Description
Targeted Root-Zone Control for Listed Aquatic Weeds
Navigate is built for buyers who want selective aquatic weed control in a broadcast granule format. Its granular 2,4-D formulation is designed to sink, settle, and place active ingredient in the root-zone area where uptake matters most. That makes it especially useful for early-season treatments in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and other slow-moving waters where listed nuisance plants are starting to establish.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Special heat-treated granules | Resist rapid breakdown and sink to the treatment zone. |
| Systemic 2,4-D chemistry | Supports plant uptake after the granules reach the root zone. |
| Selective use profile | Targets listed nuisance plants while desirable native species can remain. |
| 50 lb bag format | Practical for measured spot work or broader calibrated applications. |
| Broadcast application options | Works with a spreader, blower, or hand scoop depending on site size. |

Why Choose a Granular Systemic Aquatic Herbicide?
- Better placement: Sinking granules carry active ingredient into the critical root-zone area.
- Simpler handling: You can broadcast the product with common spreading tools instead of mixing a liquid application on site.
- More confidence: Label-backed rates, timing, and water-use directions make treatment planning clearer.
