What dilution rate do you use for Asulox ?

I use 100:1 but think I may have put a bit too much on the last lot I did this spring. Grass isn't looking quite so healthy now

And here's some that were sprayed with round up in March. Took 2 weeks before they started to go yellow. Notice the new ones growing from seed. I don't think it is possible to kill 100% of docks in one go unless you have very few to begin with

I have heard Auslox will scortch permanent pasture - may be not so bad on ryegrass.

Forefront is a bit over kill for docks really. Its 25 quid an acre before adjuvant which is near double the cost of a doxstar lookalike treatment.

I only tended to use pastor or forefront when I was confronted by a real mess containing multiple species.

It makes an excellent job of killing them though. We can grow excellent crops of docks here.

That is only fluroxypyr. Same as hatchet, starane and the others.

You could get docks to wilt in hours by spraying them with cats pish. It is no clue as to actual efficacy.

Ive known people swear blind that 1L of MCPA was enough to kill docks because it makes them keel over in a day. Doesnt work that way.
cats pee or not it worked
