Kelly,
Since you are much more knowledgeable in this area than I am and since you likely have better access to the labeling/use information I was only looking for an answer to my question.
Are you saying that these other products are not labeled for the use that Wes intended (aquatic sites?) If that is the major difference, then that is all I was looking for.
I would never use a herbicide for a purpose that it was not intended(labeled) for and would never suggest that anyone else do it either.
I can also understand that BASF would want to introduce Habitat as a new product that is registered for aquatic use (among other uses) instead of just updating similar formulated product registrations. This would avoid confusion since the other products have been out so long, to make sure there is a differentiation.
Thanks,
JW
