As the title suggests what do people recommend/ use for the above in permanent pasture. Usually spray after cutting to clear up most things with a mix of mpca and fluroxypyr but will need to do something about now to control the above as it only comes in the spring
As I have done for a few years now, I sprayed off a grass field and direct drilled in a forage brassica mix. What I normally do once it's grazed off is, leave it a few weeks and spray glyphosate. Once that's had enough time to work I disc it, sow straight away and roll.
This year I am planning...

Invested with Buttercups, now that they have flowered what is the best method now to control them? I am going to cut the field and clear the grass off.
When do I need to spray, or what's the next thing to do?
I've a field that's contains a fair few broadleaf weeds. Clover is looking well, pH and nutrients are fine, and only other issue is lack of actual grass in places. It's intended to be cut for haylage at the beginning of July
Should I spray off the broadleaves now with MCPA / 2.4D and check the...

And some sort of buttercup - not the creeping sort.

Got a smattering of quite tall groundsel in a field of wheat.is it worth doing anything or will anything do anything at this stage to take it out or not too worry about it
Afternoon,
One of my customers wants their paddocks spraying for buttercups and docks. Is there a spray that does both well. Normally use fluroxpyr based product for docks and 24d for buttercups. Guessing be a waste of time mixing, is there something that does both well?
Thanks
I sprayed a few fields last year but have them back worse than ever this year! Minstrel was the spray, cheap but it appears to be a waste of time and still knocks the grass. Really didn’t want to have to spray this spring mainly because I don’t want to stunt the grass growth when it’s costing so...
Thought I'd kick this off, what are peoples thoughts regarding seedbed feeding this year ?
We are going to increase slurry and apply a foliar n product once the plant is growing.

Remove the burden of spring weed control - treat grassland weeds now!

Weed control in autumn sown leys
Broadleaved weeds emerging in new-sown leys will reduce the amount of grass that can establish. To optimise the investment in reseeding, farmers should get rid of these weeds by spraying herbicide as soon as the grass shows three true leaves, says Dr Nicola...
