Abstract

Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.

Claims (23)

1. A method of controlling fire size and frequency at a locus in need thereof, comprising:

applying to the locus an amount of a composition of indaziflam sufficient to reduce flammable biomass at the locus,

wherein the locus is a pasture used for grazing domestic livestock, and

wherein the pasture is safe for grazing by the domestic livestock immediately following the application of indaziflam.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the livestock is ruminant animals.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the livestock is cows, sheep, bison, horses, elk, moose, antelopes or deer.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the livestock is cows.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the milk of the livestock is to be consumed by humans.

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 composition is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A.

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

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition 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 biomass is derived in whole or in part from an invasive grass species, and wherein said invasive grass belongs to the genera Microstegium, Digitaria, Poa, Bromus, Ventenata, Taeniatherum, Secale , and Aegilops.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the livestock is ruminant animals.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the milk or the meat of the livestock is to be consumed by humans.

19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the flammable biomass comprises thatch.

20. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application of indaziflam promotes a discontinuous fire system over a horizontally continuous fire system.
