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.
RESIDUAL HERBICIDE + DRY FERTILIZER = ONE APPLICATION
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.
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.

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

Building Better Pastures through Optimal Soil NutritionProductive pastures do not happen by chance. They are built from the ground up, starting with a thoughtful approach to soil nutrition. When soil health is managed with intention, the result is higher-quality forage, improved livestock performance, and a more resilient grazing system that pays dividends year after year. Read more -
Broadleaf Weed Control: A Proven Tool for Rangeland ManagementGRASS INTO GAINS WITH ALLIGARE RANGE & PASTURE Broadleaf weed control on rangelands has been a cornerstone of effective land management for decades. Since the introduction of 2,4-D in the 1940s, land managers have had access to a powerful tool that selectively targets broadleaf plants while leaving grasses intact. This revolutionary herbicide made it possible to reshape and enhance pastureland without disturbing the valuable grass species that serve as the foundation of forage systems. Over the years, many new active ingredients have been introduced to the market and this practice has become standard among livestock producers, conservationists, and landowners seeking to improve the productivity, safety, and ecological health of their rangelands. The benefits are broad and well-documented: increased forage production, delayed or prevented brush encroachment, reduced presence of poisonous plants, and support for land restoration efforts.Read more -
Optimizing Grazing Efficiency through Strategic Prickly Pear ManagementOpuntia, more commonly known as prickly pear, is a well-recognized symbol of the Southwest, but for land managers and livestock producers, it often represents a persistent challenge. While several species are native to the region, invasive species originating from Central America and the West Indies have also become established. Whether growing horizontally across the ground or standing vertically at heights exceeding six feet, prickly pear can significantly disrupt grazing operations. Its dense structure and sharp spines limit access to desirable forage, reduce pasture productivity, and deter cattle from grazing effectively.Read more -
