Description
Systemic Granular Control for Milfoil, Water Lilies, Coontail & Other Labeled Aquatic Weeds
Navigate Granular Aquatic Herbicide is a selective, systemic 2,4-D herbicide designed to control susceptible aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs and other labeled slow-moving aquatic sites.
The heat-treated granules sink through the water and release the active ingredient close to the bottom and root zone, where susceptible plants absorb the herbicide. Because Navigate works systemically, the active ingredient moves through the target plant rather than simply burning back exposed foliage.
Navigate contains 27.6% butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, equivalent to 19% 2,4-D acid, and is classified as a Group 4 synthetic auxin herbicide.
It is especially useful for targeted control of watermilfoil, water stargrass, bladderwort, white and yellow water lilies, watershield, water chestnut and coontail. Apply when target weeds are actively growing and before they form dense surface mats whenever possible.
Measure the Weed Bed, Measure the Depth, Then Apply Evenly
Designed to Move Through Susceptible Plants
Navigate is a systemic synthetic auxin herbicide. Susceptible aquatic plants absorb 2,4-D and experience abnormal growth that ultimately leads to plant death.
The granular carrier sinks rapidly and releases the active ingredient in the treatment zone, making Navigate especially practical for submerged weed beds and localized shoreline or dock-area treatments.
Best results generally occur when target plants are actively growing and treated before dense vegetation reaches the surface.
Watermilfoil
Watermilfoil species are among the most susceptible weeds listed for Navigate treatment.
Water Lilies
White water lily and yellow water lily or spatterdock are included on the label.
Coontail
Coontail is labeled, although repeat treatment may be needed in some conditions.
Water Stargrass
Water stargrass is listed as a susceptible target species.

How to Apply
How to Apply Navigate Granular Herbicide
- Identify the target weed.
Confirm that the plant is listed on the Navigate label. - Measure the treatment area.
Calculate the square footage or surface acreage of the weed bed. - Determine average depth.
For submersed weeds, average depth is required to calculate acre-feet and the proper amount of product. - Choose the labeled rate.
Base the dose on target species, density, growth stage, depth, water movement and label directions. - Weigh the required granules.
Measure the product rather than estimating by handfuls. - Broadcast evenly.
Use a calibrated granular spreader, mechanical seeder or suitable hand/portable spreader for small areas. - Cross-apply small areas when practical.
For more uniform coverage, divide the dose in half and apply the second half at right angles to the first pass. - Observe all water-use restrictions.
Follow swimming, potable-water, irrigation, notification and setback requirements. - Monitor plant response.
If heavy regrowth occurs, a second labeled treatment may be made after the required interval.

FAQs
Navigate Granular Aquatic Herbicide FAQs
What is Navigate Granular Aquatic Herbicide?
Navigate is a selective systemic granular 2,4-D herbicide for control of specific labeled aquatic weeds.
What is the active ingredient?
Navigate contains 27.6% butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, equivalent to 19% 2,4-D acid.
Is Navigate a contact or systemic herbicide?
Navigate is systemic. Susceptible plants absorb the 2,4-D and the active ingredient moves through the plant as a synthetic auxin growth regulator.
What weeds does Navigate control?
Labeled targets include watermilfoil, water stargrass, bladderwort, white water lily, yellow water lily or spatterdock, watershield, water chestnut and coontail.
Does Navigate control Eurasian watermilfoil?
Yes. Watermilfoil is one of the susceptible weed groups listed on the label, and Navigate is widely used for selective milfoil management.
Does Navigate kill algae?
No. Navigate is an aquatic herbicide for labeled plants, not an algaecide.
How do the granules work?
The treated granules sink through the water and release the herbicide in the treatment zone, including close to the bottom and plant root zone.
When should I apply Navigate?
Spring and early summer while weeds are actively growing generally provide the best conditions. Dense mature mats can be more difficult to control.
How much Navigate should I use?
The dose depends on target species, surface area, average depth, weed density, water movement and treatment type. Submersed applications are based on acre-feet and may target concentrations from 2 to 4 ppm within label limits.
What is the maximum submersed-weed rate?
The label limits submersed applications to 56.8 lb of product per acre-foot per application.
What is the maximum floating or emergent rate?
The label limits floating and emergent applications to 21 lb of product per surface acre per application.
How many times can Navigate be applied in one season?
The label limits aquatic applications to two applications per season.
How long must I wait before reapplying?
Do not make another application less than 21 days after the previous application.
How do I calculate acre-feet?
Multiply surface acres by average depth in feet. For example, one surface acre averaging four feet deep contains four acre-feet of water.
Can I apply Navigate around a dock?
Yes, when the target weeds and site are labeled. Small-area directions call for measuring the treatment zone, weighing the correct amount and applying it uniformly with suitable portable spreading equipment.
Can I throw the granules out by hand?
Use an application method that provides uniform distribution while following required PPE and label directions. A portable granular spreader or hand scoop may be used for small areas when the product can be measured and spread evenly.
Can I use a granular blower or spreader?
Yes, properly calibrated granular spreading equipment can be used when it distributes the labeled amount uniformly over the treatment area.
Can I swim after treatment?
Do not swim in treated water for a minimum of 24 hours after application.
Can I fish after treatment?
The label does not list a separate fishing waiting period beyond the specific restrictions stated for other water uses. Always follow the complete label and local requirements.
Can I irrigate with treated water?
Irrigation restrictions depend on the type of application and the plants being irrigated. Submersed treatments can require a 21-day waiting period unless the applicable setback or approved water-testing condition is satisfied.
Can Navigate be used near a drinking-water intake?
Only when the label's potable-water restrictions are followed. Submersed treatments use minimum intake setbacks ranging from 600 to 2,400 feet depending on the target concentration, with additional notification and testing requirements when applicable.
Do I need a permit?
Many states and local authorities regulate aquatic herbicide use in public or connected waters. Check with the appropriate agency before applying.
Why might Navigate work poorly around bottom springs?
Water entering or moving through the treatment area can carry herbicide away from the target weeds before enough active ingredient is absorbed.
Why can heavy mud or clay reduce results?
Dense sediment can interfere with delivery and absorption near the plant root zone, especially when weeds are mature or heavily established.
Does one 50 lb bag always treat half an acre?
No. Coverage depends heavily on water depth and the labeled treatment concentration. Do not purchase or apply based on surface acreage alone.
What PPE should I wear?
Follow the label PPE requirements, including long sleeves, long pants, shoes plus socks, chemical-resistant gloves and required eye protection during mixing, loading, application or equipment cleaning.
Where can I get help calculating the treatment amount?
Contact Weeders Digest at 877-224-4899 with the weed species, treatment-area dimensions and average water depth.

Works well
Had an issue with lilly pads in my pond. In less than a week saw obvious results. Will use this instead of spray since I can use it early in the growing season and have much less dead matter in pond. Great product.
