Range & Pasture Weed Brochure

Invasive Weed control is not only critical in industrial right-of-ways, roadside, and other no crop area vegetation management, but control is also crucial on private permanent grass pastures and rangeland. Controlling invasive species with a herbicide is an effective way to reduce the spread and infestation of a species that may have the potential to be very detrimental to biodiversity and the ecosystem. Dow AgroSciences offers effective herbicide solutions for invasive week control in reangeland an permanent pastures. The following brochure outlines Dow AgroSciences herbicides for range and pasture use only. This brochure has been used by counties and municipalities to promote the control of invasive weeds with their residents. If you would like copies to hand out please contact your local Territory Manager or call 1.800.667.3852. Click the below button to view the brochure.
