Specifically labeled for the Western Rangeland region, HighNoon® herbicide was created for vegetation managers, ranchers and land stewards.
Unique geographies throughout the western United States present a variety of challenges to land managers and ranchers alike. Problematic grasses, weeds and brush species know no boundaries in this region, and their presence can wreak havoc throughout numerous sites, including pipeline and electrical utility rights-of-way (ROW) as well as thousands of roadside miles and rangeland acres.
When left untreated, these problematic species present countless issues, including:
Vegetation managers and ranchers have relied on different herbicide products in the past to address these issues in the West. Fortunately, a new product from Corteva Agriscience is now available to provide foundational support for annual grass, broadleaf and brush control throughout the Western Rangeland region: HighNoon® herbicide.
Designed and labeled specifically for the western United States, HighNoon herbicide was created for vegetation managers, ranchers and stewards of the land. HighNoon herbicide simplified product selection for invasive grass, weed and brush control, providing invaluable support for fire-prevention efforts as well as forage and habitat maintenance.
While Milestone® herbicide from Corteva previously served as the primary herbicide solution for county weed directors and other government agencies working to enhance invasive and noxious weed control in the Western Rangeland region, the product’s chemistry contains only aminopyralid, which fails to provide broad-spectrum control.
Comparatively, HighNoon herbicide is an excellent replacement for Milestone herbicide as the product features aminopyralid and a second active ingredient: Rinskor® active. This single-pass broadleaf herbicide solution not only provides extended control of more than 140 weeds, but also maintains native grass safety. Additional benefits include:
Tree cover has increased by 50% across the western half of the U.S. over the past 30 years, jeopardizing roadway safety and utility service reliability as well as soil health, forage supplies and habitat development for pollinators, birds and other wildlife species. HighNoon herbicide serves as a reliable solution that can effectively control incompatible trees and brush species as well as the invasive weeds and grasses that outcompete native grasses, wildflowers, forbs and other desirable plants that benefit biodiversity.
HighNoon herbicide was created for land managers and ranchers working in the following states: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
