Burns. Grasses are chemically cured with Ihe herbicide Paraquat at the lime Ihe meadow would normally be cut for hav. The chemical rapidly dries Ihe plant and prevents nutrients from translocating. Sneva pioneered the re search with range grasses during Ihe los. In his early work, he showed fhal the average daily gains of yearl ings grazing crested wheat grass which had been chemi cally cured with Paraquat were flfio pounds higher than the control group grazing untreated crested whealgrass in lale fall During those years, some investigative research with meadow secics was also complctitl because ol low )ut inn os's amf hav .

No costs were involved for the naturally cured grass used in the experiment and costs for fencing and water supplies were nol included. The experiment station sci entist is optimistic about the future of Paraquat -treated grasses. "Chemical curing for winter grazing of standing meadow hay appears to be both practical and economical for replacing a portion of the traditional cut. slack and feed-out hay." he said. However, he cautioned that there w ill alway s fie a need for some slacked hay for emer gencies like bad weather conditions. Whether chemical curing will iM-come a widespread practice dejiends lo a great extent on Ihe lev els ol residues in the Image and in the animal and Ihe chemical's impact on oilier environmental laclors In that regard.
