Cutrine®-Plus is
manufactured by Applied Biochemists.
WHAT IS CUTRINE®-PLUS? CUTRINE®-PLUS is an algaecide
which controls existing algae and inhibits rapid re-infestation. CUTRINE®-PLUS
also acts as a herbicide in controlling the rooted underwater weed Hydrilla
verticillata.
BASIC FACTS:
CUTRINE®-PLUS
Is a liquid formulation
which contains 9.0% active ingredient.
Contains 0.909 pounds of
copper per gallon.
Has a specific gravity of
1.21 (10.1 lbs. per gallon).
Controls algae at 0.2 to 0.4
ppm copper and hydrilla at 0.4 to 1.0 ppm copper.
Controls all three forms of
algae: planktonic, filamentous and chara
ADVANTAGES:
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
U.S.E.P.A. registered for use in drinking water reservoirs, farm fish and
industrial ponds, golf course water hazards, lakes, fish hatcheries and
raceways, irrigation water conveyance systems such as canals, laterals and
ditches.
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
far less corrosive to equipment and other metal surfaces than other chelated
copper compounds.
CUTRINE®-PLUS
treated water can be used for swimming, domestic uses and livestock watering
immediately after chemical application.
Water from treated lakes,
ponds, irrigation systems and golf course water hazards may be used to
irrigate turf, fairways, putting greens and ornamental plants.
Fish can be caught and
consumed immediately after CUTRINE®-PLUS application.
CUTRINE®-PLUS will
not plate-out or precipitate under normal storage conditions nor does the
copper in CUTRINE®-PLUS precipitate out and become ineffective in
alkaline or hard water.
CUTRINE®-PLUS has
been used successfully in trout ponds which contained cold, hard water.
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
available in two formulations (liquid and granular) for controlling floating,
suspended and bottom-growing types of algae.
CUTRINE®-PLUS
effectively controls the noxious submersed weed, Hydrilla verticillata,
without requiring post-treatment water use restrictions associated with other
herbicides.
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
compatible in tank mixes with the aquatic herbicides Weedtrine®-D,
Reward and Aquathol K.
CUTRINE®-PLUS can
be applied to flowing water using a continuous delivery drip system. It has
been used effectively in trout raceways and irrigation canals.
APPLICATION RATE:
CUTRINE®-PLUS- is
applied at a rate of 0.6 gallon per acre-foot (43,560 cubic feet) of water to
be treated for planktonic and filamentous algae, 1.2 gallons per acre-foot for
Chara and Nitella and 1.2 to 3.0 gallons per acre-foot for Hydrilla.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
CUTRINE®-PLUS
should be diluted with at least 9 parts of water to facilitate even
distribution during application. Surface spray is most practical for treatment
of planktonic and filamentous algae. Bottom-growing algae should be treated by
underwater injection or by application of CUTRINE®-PLUS GRANULAR. Hydrilla
can be treated by surface spray or underwater injection.
CONTAINER SIZES:
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
available in 1 gallon (packed 4 to a case), 2 1/2 gallon (packed 2 to a case),
5 gallon, 30 gallon, 55 gallon and 275 gallon containers.
NOTE:
CUTRINE®-PLUS need
sunlight to optimize effectiveness.
CUTRINE®-PLUS is
not completely effective against Pithophora and diatoms.
CUTRINE®-PLUS can
be toxic to trout, at the recommended application rates, if the water has less
than 50 ppm of carbonate hardness (soft water). Do
not use in waters containing Koi and hybrid goldfish.
Not intended for use in small volume, garden pond systems.
OF SPECIAL INTEREST:
CUTRINE®-PLUS has
proven to be the favorite algaecide for fish growers because they can
calculate and apply the exact amount of copper they desire. It can reduce or
eliminate taste and odor problems caused by geosmin and MIB producing
blue-green algae. It can be used to reduce the incidence of secondary
bacterial or fungal infections by reducing the phytoplanktonic irritants which
can expose the gill surfaces of the fish.
