Aquashade Aquatic Plant Growth Control Lake Colorant Dye – Gal
EPA-Registered Solution for Controlling Aquatic Plant & Algae Growth
Aquashade Aquatic Plant Growth Control Lake Colorant Dye is a scientifically formulated blend of blue and yellow dyes that selectively filters sunlight to inhibit the growth of underwater aquatic plants and algae. Unlike regular pond dyes, Aquashade is EPA-registered for aquatic plant growth control, making it a trusted solution for maintaining water quality in lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. By blocking the red-orange and blue-violet wavelengths necessary for photosynthesis, Aquashade suppresses young, bottom-dwelling plant growth when applied early and maintained throughout the growing season.

How It Works
- Primary Action: Shading inhibits photosynthesis in young, bottom-growing plants, preventing their development if maintained early in the season.
- Best Practices: Apply Aquashade in early spring and maintain throughout the season for maximum effectiveness.
- For Complete Control: Use in combination with herbicides or algaecides to manage floating algae mats and shallow-water plants.
Application Guidelines
- Active Ingredients: 23.63% Acid Blue 9, 2.39% Acid Yellow 23.
- Recommended Rate: 0.25 gallons per acre-foot of water.
