Managing invasive grass is a major challenge for many ranchers and landowners. These aggressive weeds often compete with native plants and reduce the quality and productivity of pastureland. To help address this problem, Envu has introduced a new herbicide called Marshal Imazapic.
Marshal Imazapic is part of the company’s expanding Range and Pasture product line. The herbicide uses the active ingredient imazapic and is designed to control several invasive annual grasses commonly found in rangeland systems across the western United States.
“At Envu Range & Pasture, our mission is to provide ranchers and landowners with the tools that offer the highest level of success, grow return on investment, and increase their healthy forage,” said Justin Hossfeld, Envu Range & Pasture national sales manager.
“With the introduction of Marshal Imazapic, we’re again leading the industry in bringing creative solutions to age-old problems. Marshal Imazapic is another tool in ranchers and landowners’ belts, and when tank-mixed with Rejuvra, they can expect superior control and a more flexible application window,” said Hossfeld.
The product can be applied before weeds emerge or after they begin growing. This dual application approach provides producers with additional flexibility when managing weed pressure in pastures and grazing areas.
Another important benefit of Marshal Imazapic is its ability to be tanked mixed with the herbicide Rejuvra. When used together, the two products help extend the application window for weed control while also improving overall management effectiveness.
The combination may also support long-term weed control strategies. By helping manage the weed seedbank in soil, ranchers can reduce future infestations and maintain healthier grazing land.
Marshal Imazapic is currently the only herbicide containing imazapic that is labeled to control medusahead. Medusahead is considered one of the most damaging invasive grasses because it spreads quickly and reduces the availability of forage for livestock.
In addition to medusahead, the herbicide can control several other invasive species. These include bulbous bluegrass, cheatgrass, feral rye, Japanese brome, jointed goatgrass, red brome, and ventenata.
These grasses often dominate pasture areas and limit the growth of beneficial forage plants. Effective weed management helps improve pasture health, increase forage availability, and support livestock production.
With the launch of Marshal Imazapic, ranchers and landowners now have another option for controlling invasive grasses and improving rangeland productivity. The new herbicide adds to the range of tools available for sustainable pasture and grazing management.
