 Diquat in gel form will treat aquatic weeds in the lake. This work depends on suitable weed, water, and weather conditions; therefore, the timing is subject to change without notification.

 We recommend a 24-hour stand-down on swimming, fishing and taking water for irrigation or domestic supply once the spraying is complete according to the label recommendations.

 We have attached the diquat factsheet produced by NIWA. This gives an overview of how and why we use diquat as a tool for restoration.

If you have any questions about this work or would like someone added to the mailing list, please email or call us on 0800 638 943 and keep up to date with treatment progress closer to the time on the LINZ website.  

 An update will be sent at the start of next week to provide an update on when we will likely spray within the notification period.
