Throughout the South, summer and winter annual grasses and broadleaf weeds reduce the quality and quantity of hay, costing growers significant profits every year. These problematic species compete directly with forages from the start, robbing hay crops of fertilizer, moisture, and space. An early application of Rezilon® herbicide applied according to label directions is one key to achieving high-quality hay.

There is only so much growers can learn from a label. Envu Range & Pasture created the Rezilon® Herbicide 360 Plot Tour to take growers to the fields from anywhere. They can hear success stories and take a deeper dive into how this game-changing pre-emergent herbicide can lead to higher-quality hay on the first cutting.

After entering the virtual experience, growers can explore eight hot spot images that are full of success stories from hay growers and recommendations from Envu experts. Here are just a few of the key benefits of Rezilon herbicide:

  • Extended weed control: Rezilon herbicide provides extended weed control* other products cannot match. Once applied, it can sit on the soil surface much longer than other pre-emergent herbicides with little degradation from sunlight while waiting on rainfall for activation.

  • Flexible application window: Applications can be started as early as August for labeled cool-season targets and through late winter (February) for labeled warm-season targets. Spring weather can be unpredictable, with windy or rainy conditions often hindering applications. The residual that Rezilon herbicide offers gives growers greater flexibility with unpredictable weather.

  • Better hay quality: When applied early and according to label directions, growers can see higher quality in their first harvest. This is a result from the control of annual weed species present in the field. Applications of Rezilon herbicide should be made before the target weed begins to germinate.

  • Control of over 60 weed species: Rezilon herbicide controls more than 60 broadleaf and annual grass weeds, including species that have developed herbicide resistance, such as ryegrass. Other particularly challenging weeds controlled by Rezilon herbicide are sandbur germinating from seed, crabgrass, goosegrass, and annual foxtail.

It is essential for growers across the South to stay on top of weeds and unwanted grasses in order to achieve higher yields. With the Rezilon Herbicide 360 Plot Tour, growers will see why they can trust this product to make their fields more profitable.
