ALLIGRAZE
RESIDUAL HERBICIDE + DRY FERTILIZER = ONE APPLICATION
Alligraze is a new treatment type that allows ranchers to achieve broadleaf weed control and forage fertilization in a one-pass application. This process of dry fertilizer impregnation requires a minimum of 200 pounds of dry fertilizer.
Advanced Vegetation Management Technology
Alligraze is the technique of blending Gunslinger AMP or Prescott residual herbicides, to dry fertilizer prills. This encapsulates the prills ensuring plant nutrition and broadleaf weed control in a one-pass solution for your hay fields and grazing pastures.
A Simple Process with Quality Results
Alligraze is applied, just as common fertilizer would be, through spreader trucks, wagons, or buggies. After rainfall or heavy dew, Gunslinger AMP or Prescott is activated causing the herbicide to release from the fertilizer prill, infiltrate into the soil, and be absorbed by the roots of unwanted vegetation.
Benefits of Alligraze
- Efficient, one-pass application
- Fewer weather-related interruptions
- Reduced risk of drift
- Compatible with any size operation
Application Process
- Apply Gunslinger AMP or Prescott Herbicide at 32 oz per acre with at least 200 pounds or more fertilizer per acre.
- Apply a dye while blending to see the herbicide encapsulated.
- Apply when weeds are in a young vegetative stage. Mature weeds will be hard to control.
- The blending equipment must be completely dedicated to this process and not used for crops.

Impregnation onto Dry Fertilizer Process
Impregnation onto Dry Fertilizer Process
Alligare’s Impregnation onto Dry Fertilizer Process provides benefits and typical results you can expect when using the Alligraze process with Gunslinger AMP or Prescott herbicides.
Alligare’s Gunslinger® AMP is a high-quality formulation that increases grass production by diminishing competing vegetation.
- Long-lasting residual control that is excellent on nightshades, nettles, knapweeds, and thistles
- Increases grass production by releasing valuable water, nutrients, and light taken by undesirable weeds
- For use with pre- and post-emergent treatments and can be impregnated on dry fertilizer
- Tank mix-friendly formulation may be used alone or in combination with other herbicides to broaden target weeds and/or reduce herbicide resistance
Alligare’s Prescott Herbicide is a broad-spectrum, post-emergent solution used for individual plant or spot treatment of noxious and invasive weeds. This herbicide offers superior control of thistles, vines, and woody plants.
- Non-restricted use herbicide with selective broadleaf control for the release of desirable grass species
- Flexible tank mix options, including mixing with liquid fertilizer, for location-specific treatment
- Non-volatile formulation for use around sensitive species including Bahia grass and fescue

Understanding Risk Factors for Grass Tetany in Grazing CattleMinerals are a crucial part of cattle health, development, and nutrition. Every rancher's mineral program will vary, but there is one mineral no rancher can afford to overlook: magnesium. Each spring, cattlemen and women gear up for turnout, ready to let their herds graze fresh pastures. Cows with calves at their side eagerly chase the lush, green grass and savor the taste of spring. But while the fresh forage is a welcome sight, it also brings a silent threat for newly lactating cows: grass tetany. Caused by a magnesium deficiency, grass tetany is a serious and often fatal condition affecting grazing cattle. As we prepare to turn out cows with calves at their side, while tackling persistent spring weeds, we must keep in mind the dangers of grass tetany. Understanding the risk factors, you can take proactive steps in prevention and management which lead to a healthier, more resilient herd. ... Read more -
