Pasture managers in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota can now get pasture weed control as part of their dry fertilizer application. Dow AgroSciences, Indianapolis, Indiana, has issued a bulletin for these states that contains instructions for applications of dry fertilizer impregnated with GrazonNext HL herbicide and Chaparral herbicide. It’s a Section 2 (ee) Product Bulletin under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Many ranchers and custom applicators blend herbicide with liquid fertilizer to be applied on pastures and grass hayfields. GrazonNext HL and Chaparral can be impregnated onto dry fertilizer in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington. Impregnating fertilizer with GrazonNext HL or Chaparral herbicide is a simple process for the herbicide retailer. Herbicide in a concentrated solution is sprayed on the dry fertilizer granules or prills during the blending process. For more information, see a representative or visit www.dow-dupont.com.
