You would not want to spray the GrazonNext in a way that would allow any spray drift to reach the cotton as it would harm it. Per the GrazonNext Product Label: Susceptible Plants: Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, fruit trees, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
Most herbicides that would effectively control broadleaf weeds would have a chance of negatively impacting cotton. You would need to apply the product on a non windy day, and move at a slow speed with your nozzles closer to the target weeds to reduce the chance of drift to the cotton or other desirable crop areas.
Per the GrazonNext HL Herbicide product label for Seeding grasses:
Preemergence: Grasses may be reseeded in the fall following an application of GrazonNext HL applied in the spring or early summer.
Postemergence: During the season of establishment, GrazonNext HL should be applied only after perennial grasses are well established (have developed a good secondary root system and show good vigor). Most perennial grasses are tolerant to GrazonNext HL at this stage of development.
Per the product label for GrazonNext, "Manure from animals that have grazed forage or eaten hay harvested from treated areas within the previous 3 days may only be used on pasture grasses, grass grown for seed, wheat and corn."
New cereals and corn can be planted one year after treatment.
Please refer to the product label for full application instructions and precautions.
GrazonNext HL Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide so it can be used any time the weeds are in an actively growing state. If the weeds are apparent now, then you can use the product now to try and eliminate them. The rate range for GrazonNext HL Herbicide is 1.2 to 1.5 pints (19 to 24 fluid oz) product per acre. Please provide details on your application for specific information. Thank you!
Since GrazonNext HL is labeled for use in grazing areas, you can allow chickens and other livestock to return to the area once the application is dry. Be sure you read all restrictions and precautions on the label before using this product.
There are no restrictions for when you can allow animals to graze on areas treated with GrazonNext Herbicide. We would always recommend waiting for the application to dry completely before allowing animals to re-enter a treated area.
As long as you apply on a non windy day to limit drift of GrazonNext HL Herbicide and do not spray the corn directly or allow overspray to contact it, there should not be an issue applying to the fenceline around a corn field.
Unfortunately we are not always given an exact reason as to why a product like GrazonNext HL Herbicide is restricted in certain states.
