Thistle Control in Pastures
I have been getting a lot of calls
on thistle control this year. Lots of the
hormone type herbicides control thistle
when treated early. One new product
has caught my attention recently. Dow
is currently selling one of their products
under a new name at a reduced cost in
the LA, TX, OK and NM markets. The
product is branded as GrazonNext. It is
the same formulation as Forefront.
GrazonNext is a mixture of aminopyralid
(Milestone) and 2,4-D. I have
seen good to excellent control of thistle
at Jones-Idlewild at 1.5 pt/A. This puts
GrazonNext in the $9-$10 per acre
range. Please note GrazonNext is not
the same herbicide as Grazon P+D.
GrazonNext will not provide the control
of woody vegetation that Grazon
P+D provides. Always apply with at
least ¼% NIS (non ionic surfactant) or
crop oil concentrate.

with alot of cattle and alot of acres he has extensive experience maintaining ranchland for grazing. He manages his land by mulching growth and spraying afterwards. He hires a company to come in with a Terra Gator configured for spraying liquids. Here is a picture of a Terra Gator
The Terra gator sprays "GrazonNext" to kill the mesquite and other undesireable growth leaving clear pastures.

I contacted Jimmie to check his results after 45 days in this hot sun with these heavy rains we have had. He said that his results with the clearing and spraying were outstanding! He had two plants come back on the entire parcel of land! Thanks for the info Jimmie
