Which statement about Imazapyr Habitat/Polaris is true?

• A. It is a granular product for aquatic weeds
• B. It is a liquid formulation that controls emergent and floating-leaf plants but not submerged
• C. It is a non-systemic contact herbicide
• D. It is effective on submerged aquatic vegetation

Answer: (B)

Imazapyr Habitat/Polaris is a liquid, water-based product designed for foliar uptake and systemic movement within the plant. Because it moves through the plant after being absorbed by leaves, it works best on plants whose foliage is at or above the water surface—emergent and floating-leaf species. Submerged vegetation lacks exposed foliage for effective uptake, so this product is not reliable for controlling submerged aquatic vegetation. It is not a granular formulation, and it is not a non-systemic contact herbicide; both of those descriptions don’t fit how Habitat/Polaris works. So the correct statement is that it’s a liquid formulation that controls emergent and floating-leaf plants but not submerged.
