Choose the right solution for the problem.
A
s you evaluate your grazing program, plan your drought-recovery strategy or consider ways to graze better than last year, you have a lot of
options when it comes to managing undesirable plants on your rangeland and pastures. Sometimes, the choices can seem a bit overwhelming.
Dow AgroSciences’ full line of Range & Pasture products offers solutions designed specifically for rangeland and pasture use. Each
meets different needs and can help you move closer to your individual goals. So whether you’re working to reduce competition and
grow more grass, working to improve hay and forage quality, or working to renovate an overgrown piece of land, here’s a primer on
some of the solutions available to you:
ForeFront® HL herbicide: Superior, broad-spectrum residual weed control.
• Season-long performance controls weeds at multiple growth stages and, unlike 2,4-D alone, prevents
new flushes of weeds as the season progresses
• No grazing restrictions for any class of livestock†
• Will not harm desirable grasses
• Excellent on thistles, including perennial Canada thistle, knapweeds, cocklebur, dock, vervain,
ironweed, ragweeds and many others
Chaparral™ herbicide: The broadest-spectrum weed and brush control available in a single container.
• Convenient — one product controls broadleaf weeds, provides residual weed control and controls
many brush species
• Season-long performance that boasts the best residual pigweed control
• No grazing restrictions for any class of livestock†
• Excellent on the toughest-to-control broadleaf weeds and brush, including thistles, pigweed,
goldenrod, common mullein, wild carrot, common tansy, houndstongue, buckbrush, blackberry,
multiflora rose, locust and many others
Remedy® Ultra herbicide: Flexible, long-lasting brush control.
• Controls more than 35 brush species
• Great tank-mix partner to broaden the brush control spectrum of ForeFront HL or
Chaparral herbicide
• Flexible treatment options — ideal for pasture restoration, encroaching brush, maintaining fencerows,
and year-round basal and basal cut-stump treatments
PastureGard® HL herbicide: Concentrated, advanced brush and nonresidual weed control.
• Advanced, low-odor, high-load formulation means lower use rates and more acres treated with less
packaging to dispose
• The best Sericea lespedeza control available
• Virtually no residual control, so it’s the ideal product to use when manure from animals grazing treated
areas or consuming treated hay will be composted
• Will not harm desirable grasses
• Excellent on many woody and broadleaf weed species, including Sericea lespedeza, persimmon,
Osage orange (hedge, bois d’arc), locust, sumac, dock, marestail (horseweed) plus many others
