Milestone Herbicide quart (32 oz)

Milestone Herbicide

Milestone Herbicide is a professional systemic herbicide containing aminopyralid for selective control of invasive, noxious, annual, biennial, and perennial broadleaf weeds, selected woody plants, vines, and certain annual grasses. Its Group 4 synthetic auxin chemistry moves throughout susceptible plants, including into root systems, while providing both postemergence activity and residual soil control of susceptible emerging seedlings and regrowth.

Designed for Range & Pasture, Conservation Reserve Program acres, natural areas, wildlife habitat, rights-of-way, and industrial vegetation management, Milestone delivers long-term weed control at exceptionally low use rates while remaining selective to many established desirable grasses. Milestone was reviewed and registered through the U.S. EPA Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative and is widely used for invasive-species management, prairie restoration, pasture improvement, and habitat-management programs.

Application Notes

Milestone may be broadcast by ground or aerial equipment or used as a calibrated spot treatment. Labeled broadcast weed-control rates generally range from approximately 3 to 7 fl oz per acre depending on species and growth stage. Do not apply more than a total of 7 fl oz per acre per year from broadcast, repeat, and spot applications. Spot treatments may use an equivalent broadcast rate up to 14 fl oz per acre provided no more than 50% of an acre is treated at that rate.

For optimum uptake and translocation, treat actively growing weeds and avoid mowing, haying, shredding, burning, or disturbing treated vegetation for at least 14 days after application. A high-quality nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient may be used at 0.25% to 0.5% v/v when weeds are mature, heavily pubescent, dusty, or under adverse environmental conditions. Low-volume woody-plant treatments should include a suitable adjuvant for best results. Milestone also supports low-volume basal bark, stem-bark band, cut-stump, tree-injector, hack-and-squirt, and frill or girdle treatments according to the specific woody-plant directions.
