feeding the livestock hay produced from the feed vegetation; or

both,

wherein meat, or milk, or both obtained from the livestock is suitable for human consumption.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the meat of the livestock 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 indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.005 to 10 lb. ai/A.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam 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 at a concentration of 0.001 to 50 lb./gallon.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam at a concentration of 0.01 to 25 lb./gallon.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam at a concentration 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 the invasive grass belongs to one or more genera selected from Microstegium, Digitaria, Poa, Bromus, Ventenata, Taeniatherum, Secale, Setaria, Lolium, Cenchrus, Aegilops , and any combination thereof.

17. The method according to claim 5 , wherein an amount of residual indaziflam present in the animal's milk is less than 0.250 ppm.

18. The method according to claim 6 , wherein an amount of residual indaziflam present in the animal's muscle is less than 0.250 ppm.

19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam at a concentration of 0.5 to 5 lb./gallon.

20. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the providing comprises grazing the livestock in the area.
