Biocatalyst - Aquatic Algaecide & Herbicide Adjuvant Penetrant Accelerant | AlgaeBlitz
Description
Shore-Tech BIOCATALYST (AlgaeBlitz) is an all-natural biological penetrant, accelerant, and catalyst that improves pesticide efficacy and decomposition of dead plant and algal matter. The blend of enzymes, bacterial cultures and fungi enhance cellular penetration of pesticides in algae and aquatic plants by accelerating biochemical reactions. It then stimulates the digestion of the dead organic matter to reduce the contribution of nutrients to internal loading or organic buildup (muck). Utilizing BIOCATALYST ensures a more efficient and thorough treatment process while reducing the environmental impact and need of more frequent pesticide applications.
The 1 gallon liquid formulation mixes well with most aquatic pesticide formulations (copper, diquat, flumioxazin, endothall, etc.). It should be mixed thoroughly in the pesticide solution and applied according to the pesticide instructions.
Recommended to be included in treatments on filamentous algae (green and cyanobacteria) and submerged aquatic plants. It can also be utilized alone on previously treated dead and decomposing algae, plants, or other vegetation found on the surface of the water body
This product alone does not kill living plants. Safe for all wildlife. Eco-Friendly.
Boosts the effectiveness and "killing power" of copper algaecide Cutrine Plus by up to 4 times! Watch the video below to get the scientific explanation of how it works!
Benefits
- Used as an adjuvant with aquatic pesticides
- Allows for quick recycling of nutrients
- Improves the performance of Algaecides, Herbicides when using to kill living plants
- Speeds up the degradation of dead aquatic plants so that Liquid Bacteria can consume and remove them from the water column.
- Reduces the need for chemical Use.
- Improves Water Quality.
- Rainfast via Improved Absorption.
- Eco-Friendly & safe for the environment and the applicator.
- Premium grade & laboratory formulated in the United States.
- 1 Gallon Jug
(The above graph illustrates the effect ShoreTech Industries Biocatalyst has on the efficiency of algaecides. The data was gathered over an extended period of time during product testing. An algaecide mixed with BioCatalyst shows an immediate jump in efficiency over an algaecide used alone.

Dosage Rates
AlgaeBlitz/Biocatalyst works over a wide pH range, but for best results use citric acid or a low-pH surfactant to adjust tank mix to a pH of 4 to 6.
- Regular Dose: 1/2-3 gallons per acre initially and 1-3 gallons per month thereafter
- Pollen Dose: 2 gallons per acre sprayed on the surface
- Leaf Degradation: 1-3 gallons per acre per month followed by 10 lbs of ShoreTech Muck Tablets
Instructions and Dosage Rates When Mixing with Cutrine Plus:
Shake Well Before Use.
- DOSAGE: 32-96 Ounces of BioCatalyst per 1/4 Surface Acre (10890 sq ft)
- Add to tank sprayer once you have added Cutrine Plus mixture (refer to cutrine plus dosage rates label for instructions on Cutrine Plus application)

Specifications
Ingredients: Biostimulants, select cultures, and other proprietary ingredients
Description: Black liquid
Odor: Fermentation odor
pH: 4.8 – 6.0
Stability – Activity loss: At 75 degrees F for 12 months*: 10% or less; At 100 degrees F for 6 months*: 10% or less;
*When stored as directed in a sealed container out of direct sunlight.

If using on dead aquatic vegetation such as algae, dead weeds and other floating debris it will boost the effectiveness of Liquid Bacteria so it can digest and remove the broken down flora much quicker.
FAQs
FAQs
Algae-Blitz is a natural biocatalyst used as an adjuvant when mixed with algaecides or herbicides. When used with copper based algaecides like Cutrine Plus, it helps algae treatments perform up to 4× more effectively, speeds uptake, and accelerates the breakdown of dead vegetation while stimulating beneficial bacteria to process released nutrients
Initial treatment: ½ to 3 gallons per acre. For maintenance: 1 to 3 gallons per acre per month. For leaf or pollen cleanup: 2 gallons per acre. Specific rate for Cutrine Plus mix: 32–96 oz per ¼-acre (10,890 sq ft)
It’s suitable for ponds, lakes, decorative waters, hatcheries, canals, golf course ponds, retention ponds, lakes and more. It's non-toxic and safe for fish, wildlife, pets, and plants when used properly
Yes—its blend of enzymes, fungi, and bacterial cultures breaks down dead algae and organic material at the cellular level, making the waste easier for Liquid Bacteria or natural bacteria to remove. Algae-Blitz Biocatalyst CAN be used as a stand-alone application if the algae is dead)
During warmer months (above roughly 50°F), when biological activity is highest—Apply it with an algaecide, after algaecide treatment or during seasonal die-offs.
By accelerating breakdown and reducing organic waste, it limits nitrogen and phosphorus recycling in the water—helping reduce recurring algae blooms.
Yes—store sealed between 50–80 °F, away from direct sun. At 75 °F, activity loss is kept under 10% after 12 months; at 100 °F under 10% after 6 months
When properly mixed and applied, expect faster algae kill and more rapid biomass breakdown, with clear water improvements often visible within 1–2 weeks, depending on algae density and conditions.
