This is an important time of recovery for our pastures. Cool-season grasses recover faster and more completely with proper fertility, and fall is an excellent time to provide those nutrients. This fall, you can control weeds and fertilize pastures in a single pass, saving time and application expense.

Fall is a critical time for grazing lands, whether you’re managing through drought, working to restore balance in your pastures or simply setting up your grasses for success in the next grazing season.

This is the season for repair — at least when it comes to pastures, says Sam Ingram, Corteva Agriscience Range & Pasture field scientist.

“During the spring, we control weeds so they’re out of the way of grass production,” Ingram explains. “In the fall, we’re looking to repair the stand — especially in cool-season grasses.”

During fall, cool-season grasses are growing new tillers and rebuilding root systems that will carry them through the next growing season.

“Think of it as maintenance season for grasses. Remove the competition from those undesirable weeds, and we can go into the next season with dense, highly competitive grass stands that will hold back weeds,” Ingram says.

Take the next step; combine steps

Cool-season grasses recover faster and more completely with proper fertility, and fall is an excellent time to provide those nutrients. UltiGraz℠ Pasture Weed & Feed lets you control weeds and fertilize pastures in a single pass.

“It’s like an athlete after a big event,” Ingram says. “Without proper nutrition, recovery takes longer. Our forage grasses work hard all season. We need to feed them.”

UltiGraz is an efficient way to accomplish that. It’s convenient, saving you time and expense. Your authorized retailer for UltiGraz is highly trained on the product and may have more time to custom-apply during the fall. Plus, fertilizing in fall often costs less than during the spring.
