“It does not mean ‘spray every yellow pasture,”’ Wilson said. “It means that if mealybugs are easily found with plant injury, there is now a labeled option that research has shown will work if it is applied correctly.”

Most ranchers find themselves constantly considering options for brush management, weighing not only the cost and effectiveness, but also when they can find the time to complete the treatments. As temperatures continue to climb across the state and the chances of rainfall seem to be weakening, it’s important to consider the effect this will have on any herbicide applications.
