One relatively new use of plant growth regulators is on pasture grass. In a short amount of time, a unique product called RyzUp SmartGrass® is significantly changing producers’ methods of grazing their cattle. A spring application of RyzUp SmartGrass can “wake up” pasture grass and start its growth in cold temperatures 2-3 weeks earlier than if left untreated. Instead of keeping cattle several more weeks in the barn, a producer can put them out to pasture and reduce feeding costs.
In a similar fashion, RyzUp SmartGrass also extends the grazing season at the end of the season, promoting the growth of pasture grass by an extra two to three weeks as temperatures decline. That fall growth can really pay off, especially in a winter when there’s not too much snow, as the cattle can continue feeding on the fall pasture grass growth stimulated by RyzUp SmartGrass. RyzUp SmartGrass not only increases yields of pasture grass, but it increases yield when ranchers wouldn’t ordinarily see it, in the early
spring and late fall.
