With a unique combination of two powerful active ingredients, Purestand® Max is a selective post-emergent herbicide designed specifically for bermudagrass pastures. The label has over 80 species of grasses and broadleaf weeds listed as controlled or suppressed, including Johnsongrass, nutsedge and thistles. Purestand Max is an ideal pasture weed management solution because it does not damage bermudagrass. Add to this a “zero day” grazing restriction and you have a near-perfect tool to fight noxious and nuisance pasture weeds. See product label for complete directions for use.
