Corteva (Dow AgroSciences) PastureGard HL Herbicide (1 gal) Review

Label read 2026-08-02 on EPA PPLS. Acid equivalents: triclopyr 32.4% (3.0 lb/gal), fluroxypyr 10.8% (1.0 lb/gal). The woody plant table lists poison ivy (printed 'ivy, poison') with no footnote, and kudzu with the footnote 'Repeat application may be required' — which is why this product carries both the poison ivy and the kudzu guide. Woody plant timing on the label: apply only after leaves are fully expanded and terminal growth has slowed; if brush was mowed, allow 9-12 months of regrowth first. Broadcast rate 1.5-4 pints per acre. Grazing and haying: no grazing restriction for livestock or dairy animals on treated areas, do not harvest hay within 14 days, and withdraw livestock 3 days before slaughter. CLOVER WARNING recorded 2026-08-20. University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension (MP44, Pasture Weeds, Control of Common) names this product by name: "Banvel, Clarity, Grazon P+D, GrazonNext HL, metsulfuron 60 DF, PastureGard HL, Remedy Ultra, Surmount, Tordon 22K and Weedmaster will kill all clover." That matters because clover is deliberately maintained in most grass pastures for nitrogen and forage quality, so on a clover paddock this is a spot-treatment product rather than a broadcast one. Recorded here as well as in the article because a reader can land on the product page first.
