[QUOTE="Echo, post: 1616279, member: 38747"] I have a 55 acre cow pasture that I am in the process of reclaiming from mesquite. It was covered in small mesquite when we bought it 4 years ago (north central Texas). Being new to pasture management, I made the mistake of shredding it a couple of years ago, and of course, the mesquite came back with a vengeance, with as many as one small plant per square yard. At the end of last summer (Sept 2019) I had it sprayed with Sendero, which worked great. I know Sendero's mesquite kill rate is about 70% of plants, so I'll have to spray with Sendero for the next 2 - 3 years to get it under control. It has had cattle on it since I bought it and it had a lot of grass when purchased but has progressively become infested with other weeds. I want to get it back to mostly grass. My other smaller (non-mesquite infested) pastures and hayfield have been sprayed annually in the spring with Grazon P + D and fertilizer, which has worked well. My mesquite-infested pasture hasn't been sprayed with Grazon or fertilizer since I bought it. So here's the question: When should I start spraying my mesquite-infested pasture with Grazon and/or fertilizer? Should I go ahead and spray Grazon and fertilizer this spring? (Even though I'll be spraying Sendero again at the end of the summer this year and probably for the next year or two after.) Should I spray Grazon only and not fertilizer? Or should I just spray Sendero only for the next couple of years? (I'm worried the other weeds will get even worse if I only spray Sendero). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
