Product Q&A

Answer:

If mowing prior to applying Pastora Herbicide, it would be recommended to wait 10 to 14 days after mowing to do the application. For sandbur control, the product label states to apply when sandbur is newly germinated to and less than 1.5 inches tall. In spring, make applications when bermudagrass is less than 4” tall following green-up in the spring or after cutting for hay. For overwintering sandbur or newly germinated sandbur that is greater than 1.5 inches tall, applications of Pastora Herbicide may only suppress growth resulting in a reduction in sandbur seedheads. In this type of application, it would be recommended to use Pastora in a tank mix with a non selective glyphosate herbicide at the rate of 2.5 to 4.1 ounces per acre as in some areas, sandbur may overwinter and start the new season with an established root system Sandbur Management should be part of an overall pasture management plan which includes good fertility, adequate moisture (rainfall, irrigation), insect and rodent control, and other agronomic practices which maximize bermudagrass growth. In contrast, sandbur control in areas with thin stands of bermudagrass may not be satisfactory. Refer to page 13 of the product label for more this information on Sandbur.
