Lots of the same old products!
• 2,4-D amine• 2,4-D ester• Weedmaster• Grazon P+D• and generics
• Remedy• Reclaim• Tordon• Velpar• Spike• Banvel• and generics
There are many other products that are mixtures of these in some form or fashion.

My Picks = the cheapest thing that will do the job.
Grass release is the goal!

The Old Standby.
• 2,4-D• Basis for most of the broadleaf pasture weed
control products.• If it’s gonna be cheap, and work against 90% of
the broadleaves out there, its gonna have 2,4-D in it.
• When annual broadleaves and western ragweed are small and actively growing, 2,4-D will do the job by itself.
![Page 5: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Amine? LV? Ester?• Amine = salt = less
volatile = less active• LV = low volatile
ester = more active.• Be carefull with
esters around sensitive crops!
• 1.5 pints/ac – amine• 1.5 pints/ac –Lv4• 1 pint/ac – Lv6

Weed control only pays dividends if it results in grass release.A lot of weeds = water loss, nutrient loss, and shading.
![Page 8: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A few weeds will not affect grass yields!The grass release will not pay for the herbicide.

Advantages For Products Other Than 2,4-D
• Weeds too large• Weeds are stressed (drought)• Some hard to control species• Comparable cost
• Remember Good Timing Saves Money
![Page 11: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surfactant. Add 1 quart of surfactant per 100 gallons of mix if: Droughty conditions. Weeds are large. If weeds have a silver or gray cast – Hairy leaves and
stems: Lanceleaf ragweed, doveweed. If weeds have fine, fern like leaves: sneezeweed,
broomweed.
Check the label for the recommended surfactant for the herbicide you are using!

“NEW” Pasture Products I Get Questions About?
![Page 13: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cimarron Plus
• Metsulfuron Methyl 48% + Chlorsulfuron 15%• Ally + Glean• Weak on ragweeds, Does well on most of the annual
broadleaves.• I would only recommend it by itself for areas around
crops sensitive to phenoxy. Or for specific weed problems like buttercup, mullen, and bull thistle.
• This product can be hard on seedling grasses, and established grasses such as fescue and bahia grass.
![Page 14: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cimarron Extra
• Metsulfuron Methyl 30% + Chlorsulfuron 37%• Ally + Glean• Weak on ragweeds, Does well on most of the annual
broadleafs.• I would only recommend it by itself for areas around
crops sensitive to phenoxy. Or for specific weed problems like buttercup, mullen, broom snakeweed and bull thistle.
• This product can be hard on seedling grasses, and established grasses such as fescue and bahia grass.
![Page 15: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Rate I : Excellent all around pasture weed control product.
• Rate II : Dewberry, Broom Snakeweed(fall), thistles, sericea lesp.
• This product can be hard on seedling grasses, and established grasses such as fescue and bahia grass.
![Page 16: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Milestone
• Aminopyralid 40.6%• Close cousin of picloram, not as long of residual
and not restricted use.• Works well on seedling broadleaf weeds in
pastures, but is a little weaker with some of the perennials.
• My suggestion would be to use the Grazon Next, unless pasture is close to a sensitive crop.
![Page 17: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GrazonNext
• Aminopyralid 6.58% + 2,4-D 51.6%• Not restricted use like P+D.• Works similar to P+D on most pasture weeds.• Seems to have better activity on solanum Sp.
than P+D.• Weaker on brush species and sericea than
P+D.• Shorter residual.
![Page 18: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pasturall• Aminopyralid 1.5% + 2,4-D 51.6%• Low rate of Aminopyralid, makes it cheaper
than Grazon next.• Not restricted use like P+D.• Marketed as having the kick of an ester with
out the volitility.• Should work on most annual pasture weeds.• Shorter residual.
![Page 19: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Brush Herbicides!• Kill the easy stuff first! Broadcast
applications.• Hard to beat triclopyr (remedy)• Has activity on a large number of
our common brush species.• Brush control is a long term
endeavor.
• Work on the hard stuff as individual treatments or with more expensive specialty herbicides.
• Picloram (Tordon), hexazinon(velpar), Dicamba(Banvel) and tebuthiuron(spike)
![Page 20: Product update weed and brush control . C . K. Rice, Extension Agronomist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568166b3550346895ddab865/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Old standby brush herbicides.• Remedy• Velpar• Tordon• Spike
Most recommended broadcast application. 1 quart of remedy + 1 quart of Tordon.
Little cheaper and almost as good. 3 pints remedy + 1 pint of Tordon.
Most recommended soil applied.No liscense needed.Liquid:Velpar – honey locust, elm,
Blackberry, oaksPellets:Spike – sandy soils – oak and elm

Surmount• Picloram 13.25% + Fluroxypyr 10.65%• Tordon + Starane• Good to excellent activity on many woody plant species.• Gives some of the better control I have seen on
persimmon with a broadcast application.• Research on prickly pear control indicates this is one of
the better solutions, although slow, 2-3years.• Gives good control of many of the pasture weed
problems, although more expensive than some other choices.

Grassy Weeds?
Is the cost of the cure worth the added value of the product?

Summary
• There is very little new chemistry out there in pasture and rangeland!!!!!
• Most of the “NEW” products are re-packaged products from other crops.
