Abstract

Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.

Claims (30)

1. A method of treating an area comprising applying to said area a composition comprising indaziflam, wherein the area is cut for hay that is used for feeding animals.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hay is fed to animals.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are ruminant animals.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are cows, sheep, bison, horses, elk, moose, antelopes or deer.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animals are domesticated.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the animals are cows or horses.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the milk of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the meat of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.001 to 100 oz/A.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.01 to 75 oz/A.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.1 to 50 oz/A.

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

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

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.01 to 1 lb. ai/A.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.001 to 50 lb./gallon.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.01 to 25 lb./gallon.

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.1 to 10 lb./gallon.

18. 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, Setaria, Lolium, Cenchrus and Aegilops.

19. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's milk is less than 0.250 ppm.

20. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's muscle is less than 0.250 ppm.

21. A method of treating an area comprising applying to said area a composition comprising indaziflam, wherein the area is cut for hay, wherein the hay is fed to animals.

22. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the animals are ruminant animals.

23. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the animals are cows, sheep, bison, horses, elk, moose, antelopes or deer.

24. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the animals are domesticated.

25. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the milk or the meat of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans.

26. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.001 to 100 oz/A.

27. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A.

28. The method according to claim 21 , 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, Setaria, Lolium, Cenchrus and Aegilops.

29. The method according to claim 25 , wherein the milk of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans, and wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's milk is less than 0.250 ppm.

30. The method according to claim 25 , wherein the meat of the animal or animals is to be consumed by humans wherein the amount of residual cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor present in the animal's muscle is less than 0.250 ppm.
