Size of a dinner plate and actively growing. Quite like using fluroxypr (minstrel/tomahawk) with the right weather conditions get a good kill.

Is it the same dock that comes back or is it the seed bank growing? Maybe try doxstar at half rate twice a year?
It’s quite pricey so I would consider half doxstar and half cheap fluroxypyr.

plus 1 for minstrel
we sprayed everything and did a fantastic job, we were a week too late for some docks , and a fortnight to soon for others , all of which are dead

If you dig one up you’ll see if it’s attached to a blackened but not quite dead dock root!

Second bucket full of the day...
Not even halfway yet

That takes some effort! we are over run with docks this year. sprayed what I could with minstrel and had good results. I plan to try weed wiping the regrowth in silage fields.

We used minstrel at 2l/ha but there starting to grow back again.

That’s some graft
Are you digging out with a shovel or something ?
Never can do that with docks around my place by hand

No just pull them by hand....some do snap off at ground level, I’ll spray them with the napsack when they leaf over after cutting
Been three years now since I did Doxstar Pro twice in the same year at half rate. Did a great job.
Fair few back again this year on first cut silage. Seed bank I guess giving me new ones. I’ll hit them in the regrowth again with half rate Dockstar. I spray when the leaves are about the size of an A4 page.

Same field .the picture show a patch missed by the sprayer .seems we had 100% kill
Found the same.
Given up on doxstar. Too expensive on large areas whereas 2lt/ha straight fluroxypr such as Minstrel or Hudson does an equally good job but far cheaper.

Looks good. You might have to have a second go though.
