Polo will only knock docks back to ground level but they'll come back later in the year. Would suggest it's pointless mixing the two and Doxstar at full rate at the right time should give you the result you want. I am using Thurst & Minstrel (mix) this spring as had good results last year.

Strarane hiload , is working out cheaper than bog standard fluroxpyr this year , so use that is my suggestion

I used headland polo last year on docs, killed them very effectively, it’ll be interesting to see how many come back. It’s hard on the clover, but didn’t kill it completely

Same as Minstrel that I used , I've used expensive Dockstar in same field and no better if as good for 3 times the cost
I've been told I can mix Minstrel with Thissle X to do thistles as well , but you can't mix Dockstar and Thistle ex

It's never been on the label , only grass seed on the label

Real shame Asulox is not still easily available as it only killed docks not clover, ridiculous that it was banned on grassland!
