Summer Weed Control
Most of the weeds that are present in your pastures as we approach summer will probably be perennials plus some annuals that you missed with your initial chemical application (if there was one). The transition from spring to summer is the right time of year for brush control, as long as the weather is good.
Summer weed management promotes healthy pastures
If early-season weeds are not controlled, they will compete with desirable forages for space, nutrients, moisture and sunlight.
Proper management increases weed control success
A well-managed and properly stocked pasture should not need herbicides every year. A little time spent scouting may save you a lot of unnecessary time and money on spraying when your weed population is not high enough to justify it.
