Proper pasture management is the key to avoiding weed problems. A healthy pasture will effectively compete with most weeds. When weeds become a problem, typically the pasture has a fertility problem or has been subjected to poor grazing strategies. If these factors are corrected, the weed problem will be significantly lessened. Herbicides may have a role in pasture weed management but can not resolve poor cultural practices.
Biennial thistles are common weeds in pastures.
Best control of these weeds is obtained when the herbicide is applied while the thistle is in the rosette stage. A Banvel may provide better control of thistles, particularly if the application has been delayed until bolting occurs. Other No restriction See specific label. See specific label.
