For tall fescue, uniformly apply at a broadcast rate of 1.1 to 4.2 quarts of Prowl H2O per acre in a single application or sequential applications made 30 or more days apart. Do not apply more than a maximum cumulative total of 4.2 quarts of Prowl H2O per acre per year. <strong>Note<\/strong> that Prowl H2O also controls Italian ryegrass when rates exceed 4 pts\/A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For bahiagrass and bermudagrass, apply Prowl H2O preemergence early in the spring before green-up at a broadcast rate of 1.1 to 4.2 qts\/A. Do not apply to Bahiagrass and bermudagrass after green-up in spring before \ufb01rst cutting. Prowl H2O may also be applied sequentially when the initial application is made in the dormant season and the subsequent application is made in-season between cuttings. Do not apply more than a maximum cumulative total of 4.2 qt\/A per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Rezilon (Indazi\ufb02am) can be used for preemergence control of annual foxtails in established bermudagrass and bahiagrass. Rezilon can be applied at 3-5 \ufb02 oz per acre in a single preemergence application. Rezilon can also be applied preemergence early in the season at 3 \ufb02 oz\/A followed by 3 \ufb02oz\/A mid- to late-season. Do not exceed 6 \ufb02 oz\/A of Rezilon in a 12-month period with sequential applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Do not overseed cool season grasses (e.g. Italian ryegrass, wheat, etc.) for winter grazing for a period of at least 18 months after the last application of Rezilon. Similarly, do not rotate to other crops for a period of 22 months after the last application of Rezilon. When Rezilon is applied at a rate greater than 3 \ufb02 oz\/A, hay may not be harvested until 40 days after application. There are no grazing restrictions following the application of Rezilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preemergence Herbicides for the Control of Annual Foxtails in Established Grass Pastures and Hay\ufb01elds &#8211; Timing is everything.Bob Stougaard, Professor and Extension Weed Specialist, UGA \u2013 Athens andNicholas T.
