FIRST AID
If in
eyes: Call a physician. Hold eyelids open and flush with
a steady gentle stream of water for 15 minutes.
If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Get medical attention.
If swallowed: Drink promptly a large quantity of milk,
egg white, gelatin solution, or, if these are not available, large
quantities of water. Avoid alcohol. Get medical attention. Do not
induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Note to Physician: Probable mucosal damage may

GENERAL
INFORMATION
CUTRINE-PLUS, under field conditions, is effective in
controlling a broad range of algae including: Chara, Spirogyra,
Cladophora,
Vaucheria, Ulothrix, Microcystis and Oscillatoria. CUTRINE-PLUS
has also been proven effective in controlling the rooted aquatic plant,
Hydrilla verticillata. The ethanolamines
in CUTRINE-PLUS prevent the precipitation of
copper with carbonates and bicarbonates in the water. Waters treated
with CUTRINE-PLUS may be used for swimming, fishing, drinking,
livestock watering or irrigating turf, ornamental plants or crops
immediately after treatment.

SURFACE
SPRAY/INJECTION
ALGAECIDE
APPLICATION
For
effective control, proper chemical concentration should be maintained
for
aminimum of three hours contact time. The application rates in
thechart are based on static or minimal flow situations. Where
significantdilution or loss of water from unregulated inflows or
outflows
occur (raceways) within a three hour period, chemical may have to
be meteredin.
Identify the algae growth present as one of the
following types: Planktonic (suspended), Filamentous (mat forming), or
Chara/Nitella.
Determine the surface acreage (1 acre=43,560 sq.
ft.) and average depth of infested area.
Refer to the chart below to determine gallons of

For
planktonic algae (suspended) algae and free-floating filamentous algae
mats, application rates should be based upon treating only the upper 3
to 4 feet of water where algae is growing. Under conditions of heavy
infestation, treat only 1/3 to 1/2 of the water body at a time to avoid
fish suffocation caused by oxygen depletion from decaying algae.
Before applying, dilute the required amount of CUTRINE-PLUS
with enough water to ensure even distribution with the type of
equipment being used. For most effective results, apply under calm and
sunny conditions when water temperature is at least 60° F. Break up
floating algae
mats before spraying or while application is being made. Use hand
or power sprayer adjusted to rain-sized droplets. Spray shoreline areas
first to avoid trapping fish.
CUTRINE-PLUS
Granular Algaecide may be used as an alternative in low volume
flow situations, spot treatments or treatment of bottom-growing algae
in
deep water.

CUTRINE®-PLUS: REWARD®TANK MIX
On waters where enforcement of use restrictions for
recreational, domestic and irrigation uses are acceptable, the
following mixture can be used as an alternative Hydrilla control method.
Tank mix 3 gallons of CUTRINE-PLUS with 2 gallons of REWARD®.
Apply mixture at the rate of 5½ gallons per surface acre. Dilute
with at least 9 parts water and apply as a surface spray or underwater
injection. Observe all cautions and restrictions
on the labels of both products used in this mixture.

PERMITS:
Some states may require permits for the application of
this product to public waters. Check with your local authorities.
DRIP SYSTEM APPLICATION
FOR USE IN POTABLE WATER AND IRRIGATION
CONVEYANCE SYSTEMS
-CUTRINE®-PLUS should be applied as
soon
as algae or Hydrilla begins to interfere noticeably with normal
delivery of water (clogging of lateral headgates, suction
screens,weed screens and siphon tubes). Delaying treatment
could perpetuatethe problem causing massing and compacting of plants.
Heavy infestations and low flow conditions increasing water
flow rate during applicationmay be necessary.
-Prior to treatment it is important to accurately determine
water flow rates. In the absence of weirs, orifices, or similar
deviceswhich give accurate water flow measurements, volume
of flowmay be estimated by the following formula:
Average Width (feet) x Average Depth (feet) x Velocity*
(feet/second) x 0.9 =
Cubic Feed per Second (C.F.S.)
*Velocity is the time it takes a floating object to travel a
given distance. Dividing the distance traveled (feet) by the time
(seconds)
will yield velocity (feet/second). This measurement should be
repeated at least three times at the intended application site
and then averaged.
-After accurately determining the water flow rate in C.F.S.
or gallons/minute, find the corresponding CUTRINE-PLUS drip
rate on the chart below.

-Calculate the amount of CUTRINE-PLUS needed to
maintain the drip rate for a period of 3 hours by multiplying Qts./Hr.
x 3; ml/Min. x 180; or Fl. Oz./Min. x 180. Dosage will maintain 1.0 ppm
Copper concentration in the treated water for the
3hour period. Introduction of the chemical should be made in
the channel at weirs or other turbulence-creating structures to promote
the dispersion of chemical.
-Pour the required amount of CUTRINE-PLUS
into a drum or tank equipped with a brass needle valve and constructed
to
maintain a constant drip rate. Use a stop watch and appropriate
measuring container to set the desired drip rate. Readjust
accordingly if flow rate changes during the 3 hour treatment
period.
-Distance of control obtained down the waterway will vary
depending upon density of vegetation growth. Periodic maintenance
treatments may be required to maintain seasonal control.
*Application rates for depths greater than six feet may be
obtained by adding the rates given for the appropriate
combination of depths. Application rates should not result in excess of
1.0 ppm copper concentration within treated water.
GENERAL
TREATMENT NOTES
The following suggestions apply to the use of CUTRINE-PLUS
as an algaecide or herbicide in all approved use sites:
For optimum effectiveness…
-Apply early in the day under calm, sunny
conditions when water temperatures are at least 60° F.
-Treat when growth first begins to appear or
create a nuisance, if possible.
-Apply in a manner that will ensure even
distribution of the chemical within the treatment area.
-Re-treat areas if regrowth begins to appear and
seasonal control is desired. Allow one to two weeks between consecutive
treatments.
-Allow seven to ten days to observe the effects
of treatment (bleaching and breaking apart of plant material).
