[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1791084, member: 6291"] I have used a lot of grazon next hl, still use a decent amount. We get a lot of woody plants like huisatche, mesquite, black and white brush, yaupon, oak, along with a host of weeds. Most of the pasture I was dealing with had been shredded for years, and years, and years. Some of it was darn near a carpet of knee high brush and weeds. We went in and started boom spring every thing with gn hl. In 3 years there was a very noticeable kill, probably 75% or better. In 5 years it was in the 90s. Basically what was left you could ipt. We continued to boom spray for a few more years because the amount of new growth every year was insane. The grazon next hl did an awesome job and paid for itself, no doubt. Those pasture are pretty grass land looking prairies now. With all that said, I don't boom spray like that near as much any more. We have gone to ipt on the few woody plants and the weeds are almost non-existent. I credit a lot of that with not over grazing. The diversity of the grasses has greatly increased. We are actually going in and disking some of this ground to see what seeds we can stir up to add to the diversity. If you are cleaning up neglected ground it does a good job. If you have coastal, Tifton, jiggs... great product. If you are running native pasture that makes seed and are interested in wildlife and cattle... I would be very conservative with it. When we do use herb now I have gone to the duracor, patriot, etc herbicides more. I can't remember when I originally reviewed them on here but it has been several years ago, now. For us, they did just as good of a job as any thing else. [/QUOTE]
