Corteva Milestone Herbicide

Description:
Corteva Milestone is a selective herbicide designed for long-lasting control of broadleaf weeds and woody plants in rangeland, pastures, natural areas, and certain non-crop sites. Its active ingredient, Aminopyralid, is known for its systemic action, effectively targeting invasive and noxious weeds while being safe for desirable grasses. Milestone offers extended residual control, reducing the need for frequent reapplications and helping maintain the integrity of natural and agricultural lands.
