Outline the various concerns a grower might consider before applying an herbicide in the following scenario, and
what type of herbicide might be appropriate.
Situation: A farmer has planted a pasture with bentgrass as a forage crop for a small herd of dairy cows and their
calves. The farm is artisanal, but not fully organic. The clients are health conscious and concerned with the health
and treatment of the animals. The farmer has noticed nightshade and mustard growing in the field. The nightshade
can harm the grazing animals and taint the milk with solanine. The mustard can also taint the milk, changing its
flavor. The farmer must decide whether to use herbicides on the field, and if so, what type.
