The amount of diquat per gallon of water will vary depending on the brand and formulation of the product. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Typically, a 2.5% solution of diquat is used for spot treatments or for treating small areas of lawns or gardens.
This concentration is made by mixing 2.5 ounces of diquat into one gallon of water.
Diquat is a herbicide that is used to kill aquatic plants. It is often used in ponds and lakes to control algae growth. Diquat is available in both liquid and granular form.

How Do You Mix a Diquat With Water?
Diquat is a herbicide that is used to kill aquatic plants. It is a contact herbicide, which means that it kills the plants by coming into contact with them. Diquat is mixed with water before it is applied to the plant.
The amount of diquat that is mixed with water will depend on the type of plant that you are trying to kill. For example, if you are trying to kill an aquatic weed, you would mix 1 part diquat with 100 parts water. If you are trying to kill a submerged weed, you would mix 1 part diquat with 10 parts water.
How Do You Mix a Diquat for a Pond?
Diquat is a contact herbicide that is used to control aquatic plants and algae in ponds, lakes, and other water bodies. It works by causing the plant cells to rupture, which leads to plant death. Diquat is available in both liquid and granular formulations.
To mix diquat for a pond, you will need to follow the directions on the label of the product you are using. In general, you will need to add 2-4 ounces of diquat per acre of pond surface area. For example, if your pond is 1 acre in size, you would need to add 2-4 ounces of diquat to the mixing container.
Once the proper amount of diquat has been added to the mixing container, you will then need to fill the container with water from the pond. The mixture should be stirred well until all of the diquat has dissolved into the water. Once this occurs, you can begin applying the mixture evenly across the surface of the pond.
It is important to note that diquat should only be applied when there is no wind present as this can lead to off-target drift onto nearby vegetation or into other water bodies.
How Long Does It Take for Diquat to Work?
It usually takes diquat about two weeks to work. It can take up to four weeks for the full effect to be seen.
When Should I Diquat My Pond?
If you live in an area with a temperate climate, the best time to diquat your pond is in late autumn or early winter. This will give the plant life in your pond a chance to die back before the water gets too cold. In areas with a colder climate, it’s best to wait until spring to diquat your pond.
This will give the plants time to start growing again before the water gets too warm.

Diquat Rate for Duckweed
Diquat is a contact herbicide that is effective against duckweed. The recommended rate for diquat is 2 to 4 fluid ounces per acre-foot of water. Duckweed infestations often occur in ponds, lakes, and other waterways.
Diquat controls duckweed by causing the leaves to curl and dry up. It is important to treat duckweed early in the season before it has a chance to spread.
Conclusion
If you’re using diquat to control aquatic weeds, you need to know how much of the herbicide to use per gallon of water. The amount of diquat per gallon of water will vary depending on the type of weed you’re trying to control. For example, if you’re trying to control duckweed, you’ll need to use more diquat per gallon of water than if you’re trying to control algae.
To find out the specific amount of diquat per gallon of water needed for the weed you’re trying to control, consult the product label or contact your local Cooperative Extension office.
