Proven, Effective Control.
Virtually Odor-Free.

Fishing, boating and swimming are some of the most enjoyable and popular recreational sports in our country. But they are increasingly threatened by invasive and non-native fish.

Because invasive and non-native fish are so widely distributed, and can have such a profound impact, piscicides play a vital and important role in restoring the recreational, scenic and commercial value of lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.

Rotenone, an extract made from the roots of certain tropical plants, is the most widely used piscicide. CFT Legumine™ Fish Toxicant combines this proven active ingredient with a special emulsifier and solvent package to deliver the same powerful control for fish population management as conventional liquid formulations without adverse environmental effects or harsh odors.

Key Performance Benefits

Low-odor formulation: added emulsifier and solvent system make CFT Legumine virtually odorless.
Convenient liquid formulation: CFT Legumine is ideally suited for drip application in flowing water and other applications where a liquid formulation is preferred.
Fast activity: CFT Legumine starts working immediately, with most species controlled within hours of application.
Short residual: CFT Legumine breaks down rapidly in bodies of water; often within a few days to weeks, allowing rapid restocking.
Minimal environmental impact: CFT Legumine has no adverse effect on plant life, groundwater
or soil.

In comparison to conventional rotenone formulations on the market today, CFT Legumine has several advantages, including a special emulsifier and solvent package that reduces the presence of petroleum hydrocarbon solvents. By reducing these petroleum solvents, we have been able to reduce many of the negative properties inherent with conventional liquid formulations. CFT Legumine is virtually odor-free, and retains its efficacy without the use of any synergist.

In laboratory trials conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game in 2002, CFT Legumine had essentially identical efficacy to the conventional liquid 5% rotenone formulation on rainbow trout fry at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 2.0 ppm formulation.
