Getting on top of woody weeds
Brambles, gorse and broom are tough woody weeds which can grow quickly, taking over areas that could be grazed. “These sorts of weeds typically grow around the edges of fields and gateways,” says Dr Nicola Perry, weed biology specialist for Corteva Agriscience...
What are the best chemicals for controlling these? I know very little about it. Starane in cereals, shield in beet? Glyphosate in stubbles appears to be too late as they have formed daughter tubers. thought I was getting on top of them but they are really bad this year in a field that was spuds...

Best spray to kill them been using dockstar but keep coming back. We sprayed them when they were young and leafy as well. Can’t use frontier cause of muck for other crops :(
I would like to pick the collective minds on here for information.
Bit by bit i am getting on top of the weed burden i inherited on some of the land i farm. Usually i have Nettles and Thistles to deal with, OR Rushes. My go to products are Thistlex, and for the rushes i have been knocking them...

The further from all that the better I reckon
I couldn't cope with having non farming neighbours . . .
