I have masses of buttercups growing in my horse paddocks, could anyone point me in the direction of the right spray to kill them off with, thank you x

Knapsacking? Use Grazon 90 or whatever it is called these days.I have masses of buttercups growing in my horse paddocks, could anyone point me in the direction of the right spray to kill them off with, thank you x
I'm willing to bet it hasn't been limed anytime recently....Check the pH before spending too much on sprays, a low pH will allow the buttercups to outcompete the grass.
The likes of thistlex or dockstar will kill them, if you have horses you will have docks so do two jobs at once
Good point that....I'm willing to bet it hasn't been limed anytime recently....
Every horse paddock near me is filled with buttercups don't see the problem with it surely there's still enough grass for a horse?
Oh I agree. I have sprayed many.many acres of 24D+MCPA over the years. Much of it on pony paddocks.Grazon-Pro has relpaced Grazon 90. But it is still expensive and not ideal for Buttercups.
Very good for Thistles, nettles and Docks though.
24D will get rid of Buttercups a lot cheaper.

That won’t help the ph which is what the problem isPut on fertiliser. Keep grazing and will return grass.
spraying will reduce grasses that are there.
