Consider Corteva Agriscience's Ultigraz for Spring Pasture Management in Oklahoma

One pass. Better grass. That is the motto for Corteva Agriscience's UltiGrazSM Pasture Weed & Feed system. Scott Flynn, zonal biology leader at Corteva Agriscience, spoke with KC Sheperd, associate director for Radio Oklahoma Ag Network on how this product offers efficiency at a time when rising input costs must be considered.
"Ultigraz is a certified program that ensures proper blending application and stewardship of this product," Flynn said. "The way it works is, we take dry fertilizer and impregnate a residual herbicide. The system ensures that our cooperators go through the proper process as far as mixing the herbicide onto the dry fertilizer, making sure the application is correct and making sure the equipment used is only used for the pasture-land management business, so that way we do not end up with any cross-contamination."
The system is beneficial to producers through stewardship by ensuring products are applied properly, Flynn said. On top of that, Ultigraz's application cost can be up to half the cost of normal range and pasture application by combining fertilizer and herbicide into one, he added.
"We cut out the need for a second application," Flynn said. "The products included in the Ultigraz system offer really good weed control for producers, along with that boost in production."
Feedback from producers tells Flynn that the convenience the Ultigraz system offers works and has made recurring customers out of many producers.
"The timeframe for using Ultigraz for full-season grass pastures, you are looking at a spring application," Flynn said. "I think of it as timing it for musk thistle control. Usually, musk thistle is popping up in (Oklahoma) sometime in April."
