CP42 Milestone-Tolerant Pollinator 20/20

CP42 pollinator mix built with forbs that tolerate Milestone herbicide carryover.

A 25-species CP42 pollinator mix specifically selected for forbs that tolerate Milestone (aminopyralid) residue in the soil. Ideal for planting behind grazed pasture, hayed fields, or CRP acres where prior herbicide use would kill sensitive natives like legumes and asters. Meets CP42 pollinator spec at 20/20 seed count.

FAQ

How do I know if I have herbicide carryover?

Ask the prior land manager for a chemical history, and run a bioassay: plant a tray of peas or beans in field soil. If seedlings twist or die, aminopyralid residue is likely present.
