• Application Rate: Rate varies based on waterbody conditions and weed density; follow the label for site-specific guidance. Maximum labeled rate is 10.8 lbs of 2,4-D per acre-foot (equivalent to 56.8 lbs Navigate product per acre-foot).

Navigate offers a focused approach to aquatic weed management, helping maintain open water for recreation, boating, and wildlife habitat. Its selective formulation targets dense weed stands while leaving many non-target plants intact when applied as directed, supporting healthier water bodies over time. Because rates and limitations vary by weed species, water depth, and season, consult the label to plan an effective treatment schedule that aligns with local regulations and professional guidelines.
