How dry impregnated fertilizer works
Impregnation is the process of applying a concentrated herbicide solution on dry fertilizer granules during the blending process.
Know How ⟶The only currently labeled pasture herbicides available for fertilizer impregnation are DuraCor® and GrazonNext® HL herbicides.
Since DuraCor® and GrazonNext® HL are federally classified as general use herbicides no RUP license is required. However, in states where 2,4-D has state restrictions a license is required to purchase GrazonNext HL .

This application can be used year-round; however, applications made when weeds are young and immature provides the best results and long-term weed control.
The spectrum of weeds controlled with treated fertilizer extends to most species listed on the DuraCor and the GrazonNext HL labels.
Expect similar length of control to other rates and treatment methods used for DuraCor and GrazonNext HL applications.
Rainfall is required for consistent herbicide efficacy. Typically, a rainfall of at least 0.25 inches within 30 days of application is necessary for consistent herbicide performance.
Weed control is almost entirely dependent on the soil residual activity of the herbicide and plant root uptake. If, however, the treated fertilizer prills land on susceptibleweeds, post-emergent control can occur through this method.
Treated fertilizer with DuraCor or GrazonNext HL could cause injury to existing stands of clover species.
Label precautions apply to forage treated with GrazonNext HL and to manure from animals that have consumed treated forage within the last three days.
