Herbicidal compositions for animal grazelands and methods for applying the same

Abstract

Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.

1 . A method of controlling fire size and frequency at a locus in need thereof, comprising applying to the locus an amount of a composition of indaziflam sufficient to reduce flammable biomass at the locus. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the biomass is derived in whole or in part from an invasive grass species at the locus. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the invasive grass species is selected from the group consisting of genera  Microstegium, Digitaria, Poa, Bromus, Ventenata, Taeniatherum, Secale, Setaria, Lolium, Cenchrus  and  Aegilops.    
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.001 to 100 oz/A. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.01 to 75 oz/A. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of 0.1 to 50 oz/A. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.001 to 25 lb. ai/A. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.005 to 10 lb. ai/A. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the indaziflam is applied in an amount of 0.01 to 1 lb. ai/A. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the locus is a rangeland.
