Docks in new ley

[ritchiekirkland]

How well established does a new ley have to be before you can spray it for docks with Doxstar Pro ? Anybody ?
Thanks in advance

Why Doxstar Pro specifically?

Have you got sheep? Mine love docks more than clover No docks survive here

Most weed sprays are 3 leaf stage onwards.

If they are seedlings a less expensive chemical will do the job.
If they are old docks coming off established roots they'll take more beating.

Yeah could hammer it with ewes and lambs but would they not be to hard on the new grass before they got hungry enough for the docks ?

Spray with 0.75 H Hurler at 3'leaf , done some today , why are farmers drunk on Dockstar, what's that costing ?

I see above , you already bought it . No idea then ,
Hurler takes the lot I know that

It was old grass we took on last year . Burned it off , ploughed and put into kale for winter . Power harrowed and back into grass four weeks ago.
Didn’t spray it before I put it back to grass as there was nothing to spray .
Docks have appeared with vengeance! They don’t look like seedlings if that makes sense even though they were sprayed and ploughed in last year .

It won't kill them , get them now with spray before they get to strong
