[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 7001407, member: 47276"] Thank you all for responding. It is not groundsel or anything like it apart from the flower heads and flowers being similar to look at. If I ever get an identification I will post it here. I should have mentioned in the OP there is another weed that looks a bit similar to it in the early stages. Not so much a problem at this stage, but again glyphosate only stunts it. I am not keen on using clopyralid due to its persistency and known residue problems. Yes, I only apply label approved quantities and frequencies. It is most prevalent in the nuts, but again I follow label recs. Low to mid 20s afternooon max at present (when I have my sesta) so not hot when I am spraying. I am not surprised it is amazing on broadleafs. I used to kill trees with it in Australia. Axe cuts into the bark and inject it neat. Labelled here only for winter use close to vines and trees; for killing blackberries, gorse, acacia, broom, etc.; on uncultivated land for general weed control, or on grassland in spring. It would get rid of all the legumes in the sward though. Why? I do it several times a year to keep the rows reasonably clean. I use a hand lance on the sprayer, and it is extremely accurate at a distance of about 1m. Small low tractor no cab. This is the weed [USER=48190]@Bogweevil[/USER] posted above, and that is not it, but thanks to you and [USER=7037]@robbie[/USER] for naming it. Another tagging of poor Oldmacdonald. :rolleyes: At this stage I am thinking a glyphosate/MCPA mix, but still open to other suggestions. [/QUOTE]
