Pasture Weeds

Forage

Dicamba (Banvel) has been the standard recommendation for weed control in limpograss, because Weedmaster contains 2,4-D, which has been reported to cause significant limpograss injury. Over the past couple of years, we have had several herbicides labeled in the pasture market including: Cimarron, Telar, Pasturegard, Overdrive, and Milestone. The tolerance of limpograss to these herbicides needs to be understood, and the timing of application generally influences the safety of these herbicides on limpograss.
