Herbicidal compositions for animal grazelands and methods for applying the same
Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.
1. A method of treating an area comprising applying to said area a composition comprising a cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor,
wherein one or more animals graze in said area,
wherein the cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor is indaziflam,
wherein the area is rangeland or pasture, and
wherein the milk or meat of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are ruminant animals.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are cows, sheep, bison, horses, elk, moose, antelopes or deer.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are cows.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the milk of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the meat of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.001 to 100 oz/A.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.01 to 75 oz/A.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.1 to 50 oz/A.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor is applied in an amount of 0.005 to 10 lb. ai/A.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor is applied in an amount of 0.01 to 1 lb. ai/A.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.001 to 50 lb./gallon.
14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.01 to 25 lb./gallon.
15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.1 to 10 lb./gallon.
16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied to an area in which at least one invasive grass is growing, wherein said invasive grass belongs to the genera Microstegium, Digitaria, Poa, Bromus, Ventenata, Taeniatherum, Secale , and Aegilops.
17. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's milk is less than 0.250 ppm.
18. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's muscle is less than 0.250 ppm.
