Early Weed Control Planning: The Key to Improved Hay Quality and More Profit |

Sponsored content created and provided by Jason Belcher, stewardship and development manager - Eastern U.S., Bayer Environmental ScienceHay growers throughout the south lose significant profits every year because of weed infestations. Summer and winter annual grasses and broadleaf weeds rob nutrients and take up space to reduce the quality and quantity of hay. While they can be difficult to control, Bayer Range and Pasture is here to help. When it comes to protecting hayfields from the many threatening species of broadleaf and annual grass weeds, the key is to apply Rezilon® herbicide early and follow label directions carefully. You may think now is too early to start thinking about results in the spring and summer, but you are actually right on time. There are several reasons why hay producers should apply Rezilon in January or early February for better control and results in the spring and summer:
Overall, Rezilon controls more than 60 broadleaf and annual grass weeds, including species that have developed herbicide resistance, such as ryegrass. Using Rezilon herbicide as directed can lead to higher-quality hay on the first harvest and also reduces the time and money hay growers would need to spend on additional herbicide applications. As mentioned at the beginning, if you think it’s too early to start planning for a late-winter application, you are actually right on time. Now is the perfect time to put this plan into action and stop weeds in their tracks. At Bayer Range and Pasture, we know hay growers in the south are struggling to solve this problem, and we are here to help. Find us online at Rezilon.com.
