My price is based on 2l/ha plus 0.15l/ha wetter. £18.90/l for fluoxypr.

Come on @Meallydave put up some figures since I'm getting my leg lifted?

Glad I've come across this thread. The FIL has a field he said was bad with docks. Was over last week to see it 5 acre crop 3 feet tall. Theres bad and then there was this the likes I've never seen before.

Out of interest, has anyone used Pixarro (fluroxpyr + arylex) on docks? I have a couple of litres in store, having been poked into me by a serviced agronomist a couple of years ago.

On paper it looks ideal, but no recc for grassland use....

Crikey!

I remember a field like that got like that at home, in the days before glyphosate.
I would say it wants a beast of a topper through it first, then look at spraying regrowth, whatever chem you choose to use.

Starane will work out at half that

True but starane is only 100g/l of fluoxypr. Hurler is 200g/l so I'm getting double the active.

Pixxaro is a good product. I don't know if the arylex has any effect on docks.

Spray it off with roundup and put it into kale. There is still time.

Whenever I’ve used mcpa on silage ground I find it sickens the whole crop.

Yes that's why I stopped. Starane is very kind to new seeds

Yes mcpa is very hard on big grass, don’t seem to notice it so much on grazing grass though.

I'd keep it for a weedy cereal field & it's proper label use. I'm not aware of any work being done on grassland with it - it's just too expensive vs the older alternatives.

years ago i was left with a 1/2 acre's worth of ally spray in the tank. i decided to spray it out on a bit of rough grazing (1/4 acre) which was dock infested. well it did a superb job and the docks didn't come back for a lot of years.obviously that can't be done nowadays but shows how some chems can give unexpected results.

Nothing unexpected about that- its the same active that was in cimarron....

Try hard enough with ally mind and you will kill the grass. I've seen that done.

MCPA is not that great on docks anyway, I have never used it alone, always in mixture with other things.
