High-quality hay doesn’t come to those who simply react to their challenges. It comes to those with the foresight to weigh every possible outcome, consider every potential strategy, and stay two (or three) steps ahead of every challenge.

For hay growing’s greats, it’s not a reactive discipline but a proactive one.

Historically, hay growers have been limited to using postemergence products that risked stunting their crop, left to choose between weedy, lower-quality hay with a lower price tag and the potential for crop damage. But Rezilon® herbicide delivers preemergent control with a residual that other products can’t match — empowering detail- and quality-obsessed hay growers to be proactive in all of their efforts.

Here’s how this game-changing preemergent herbicide can help hay growers deliver clean, high-quality hay cut after cut and bale after bale.

• Extended weed control: Rezilon herbicide provides extended weed control* other products cannot match. Once applied, it can sit on the soil surface much longer than other preemergence stage herbicides with little degradation from sunlight while waiting on rainfall for activation.
• Flexible application window: Applications can be started as early as August for labeled cool-season targets and through late winter (February) for labeled warm-season targets. Spring weather can be unpredictable, with windy or rainy conditions often hindering applications. The residual that Rezilon herbicide offers gives growers greater flexibility with unpredictable weather.
• Better hay quality: When applied early and according to label directions, growers can see higher quality in their first harvest. This is a result from the control of annual weed species present in the field. Applications of Rezilon herbicide should be made before the target weed begins to germinate.
• Control of over 60 weed species: Rezilon® herbicide controls more than 60 broadleaf and annual grass weeds, including species that have developed herbicide resistance, such as ryegrass. Other particularly challenging weeds controlled by Rezilon herbicide are sandbur germinating from seed, crabgrass, goosegrass and annual foxtail.
