Ryegrass Control Demonstration

Cooperators: Randy McCaslin and James Reed

Conducted by: VanBuren County CEA Danny Griffin

Conway County CEA Kevin Van Pelt

A demonstration was conducted on the McCaslin Ranch in Van Buren County to look at different treatments for controlling what was suspected to be glyphosate resistant ryegrass. Roundup Pro and Credit 41 were both applied at equivalent rates of 1lb active ingredient of glyphosate per acre. All the treatments provided excellent control of ryegrass confirming that there was no glyphosate resistance. However, each treatment was compared with and without Rezilon and the results substantiated claims that more winter weeds sometimes germinate in early spring.

Headed to a fair or livestock show this season? Make sure your animals meet Arkansas’ exhibition health requirements before you go!

Many species need current CVIs, some require negative tests within 30–90 days, and animals showing signs of contagious disease won’t be allowed to exhibit. Requirements also vary by species, including horses, cattle, poultry, sheep and goats, swine, and more. Plan ahead, check the rules early, and help keep Arkansas agriculture healthy.
