[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6200088, member: 54866"] Debatable I would say, it will broaden the spectrum of activity though. Fluroxypr only works on a narrow range of weeds, it is a very weird chemical. Docks, cleavers, chickweed, tries on mayweed, tries on nightshade. Check what label weeds are mentioned, it won't be many. Think it does dandelion, too. Lots of people get confused about what chemical does what becausea lot of them are quite harsh on plants or some some activity. I bet if you sprayed plain fungicide on a stinging nettle on a hot day in June it would wilt and look pretty upset for a time. Lots of the herbicides are the same. They make them wilt or look a bit fudged but in reality they don't die. For docks what you really want is some fluoxypyr and dicamba in mixture (For example, Thrust + something like Hatchet or Starane). Of course the old cimarron is gone now but that used to work very very well if the weather was good and you mixed it with a phenoxy partner. Lots of it used to get mixed with di-farmon when it was still legal to use. It is because there is no golden bullet chemical that Dow and the other companies tend to create mixed formulations that contain things like clopyralid, fluroxypyr and tricolpyr in tandem as in the old pastor. Of course they are rather more expensive. If you have a real mess of thistles, nettles and docks, pastor at 2L/ha with adjuvant is really the default option. [/QUOTE]
