Baker Petrolite Crop Protection Chemicals can increase irrigation efficiency by controlling submersed aquatic weeds and algae in flowing and impounded irrigation systems. This vegetation reduces the carrying capacity of canals by clogging turnouts and pumps. Submersed weeds also increase the likelihood of canal overflow and levee breaks, plus accelerate accumulation of silt and debris.
MAGNACIDE® H Herbicide, marketed exclusively by Baker Petrolite's Crop Protection Chemicals Division, has been successfully used in irrigation systems around the world since 1959. After an application, the submersed aquatic weeds disintegrate, which eliminates the need to dispose of the dead weeds, and quickly returns the system to its maximum capacity and efficiency. |
