Clean Hay Is All About Timing

For hay growers who want to grow a premium product, annual grassy weeds like sandbur, foxtail and ryegrass present a particular challenge. RezilonⓇ herbicide not only provides a wide array of control of these and over 60 annual grassy and broadleaf weeds but is also very consistent in its level of control when applied with attention to timing.

Rezilon herbicide is a preemergence solution with long residual action, which represents a shift for some growers. Previously, hay growers didn’t have a lot of options for controlling grass in their hayfields and were restricted to using postemergence products that risked stunting their crop. In essence, they were left to choose between weedy, lower-quality hay with a lower price tag and the potential for crop damage.

One of the advantages of using Rezilon herbicide is flexible application timing that gives growers more precision and choices in their weed control program. They can target either summer or winter annuals by adjusting application timing, apply just after a cutting for maximum effectiveness, and for quick activation, apply just before rainfall or irrigation of up to half an inch. Whatever approach growers choose, just two applications a year will help produce the clean hay customers expect.

Learning the ins and outs of a new product can be challenging, and that’s why we’ve developed a free Premium Hay Grower’s Guide with the timing tips hay growers need to maximize success with Rezilon herbicide. It includes precise information on timing applications to fight particular species, FAQs and technical application tips that can make a real difference in results.

You’ll learn how flexible application timing lets you:

  • Target either summer or winter annuals including foxtail and ryegrass
  • Achieve maximum effectiveness
