Arrest
Grass Control Herbicide is
effective on most grass types including:
- Treats up to 20,000 sq ft
More deer, better
quality deer and bigger racks are the result of planting quality food plots.
So over recent years, food plots have become more and more a part of good
whitetail deer management. Unfortunately, all the work is not necessarily
done with the planting. Weeds and grasses can hamper even the best-laid food
plot plans.
Weed and grass
problems actually lie deep within the soil. Over many years, billions of
weed and grass seeds have been deposited and can sit dormant until the day
the soil is tilled and they move close to the surface. As the seed moves to
the surface, the combination of oxygen, temperature and moisture causes the
weed and grass seeds to germinate. It is only a matter of time until the
grasses and weeds are aggressively competing with the crops.
Arrest controls most annual and perennial grasses
and will not affect broadleaf plants like clovers, alfalfas and chicory when
used correctly. Arrest can be used any time of the year when high
temperatures are above 60 degrees. Better long term control occurs when the
grass is sprayed before it seeds, usually in spring or early summer. In most
cases, grasses will stop growing within 48 hours and take 15-30 days before the
application can take full effect. As with all herbicides, use exactly as directed on the
label. The Whitetail Institute does not manufacture this herbicide and assumes
no responsibility for its misuse. Follow label directions closely.
Use Arrest when the plants are dry (mid-day) and no
rain is expected for at least 2-4 hours. Arrest herbicide
was developed by the Whitetail Institute to help control all grasses
found in a food plot. Grasses come in many forms, both perennial and
annual. Fescue, Johnson grass and foxtail are just a few that commonly
plague food plots. These grasses produce lots of seeds and are very
aggressive, taking incredible amounts of moisture and nutrients away
from desired forages. If not dealt with in fairly short order, they can
damage or even destroy the plot. Applying Arrest before the grasses get
out of control can clear virtually all of the grass out of the plot
without damaging the stands of Imperial Whitetail Clover, Alfa-Rack,
Alfa-Rack Plus, or Extreme.
