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 controlling fire size and frequency on rangeland, or pasture, or both that is used for grazing domestic livestock, the method, comprising:
applying to the rangeland, or the pasture, or both an amount of a composition of indaziflam sufficient to reduce flammable biomass on the rangeland, or the pasture, or both,
wherein the rangeland and pasture are safe for grazing by the domestic livestock immediately following the application of indaziflam.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the biomass is derived in whole or in part from an invasive grass species on the rangeland, or the pasture, or both.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the invasive grass species is selected from the group consisting of genera Microstegium, Digitaria, Poa, Bromus, Ventenata, Taeniatherum, Secale, Setaria, Lolium, Cenchrus , and Aegilops.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.001 to 100 oz/A.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.01 to 75 oz/A.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.1 to 50 oz/A.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.005 to 10 lb. ai/A.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.01 to 1 lb. ai/A.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition of indaziflam is applied to the rangeland.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rangeland comprises tallgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, desert grassland, shrubland, savanna, steppe, or pampas, or any combination thereof.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rangeland is tallgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, desert grassland, shrubland, savanna, steppe, or pampas, or any combination thereof.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition of indaziflam is applied to the pasture.
14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rangeland, the pasture, or both comprise a field, or grassland, or both.
15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rangeland, the pasture, or both is a field, or grassland, or both.
16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rangeland, the pasture, or both is grassland.
17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the flammable biomass comprises thatch.
18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application of indaziflam promotes a discontinuous fire system over a horizontally continuous fire system.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the domestic livestock comprise cattle.
20. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises indaziflam in an amount of 0.01 to 25 lb./gallon.
