[QUOTE="steveR, post: 6991756, member: 66976"] I used to spray pony paddocks all over the WM and Borders until horsey owners finally got to my head....! Just too much travel for too much hassle ;) 2,4D is the active ingredient you need. Depitox is what I have in store at present, loads of names for the stuff!! Cheap and cheerful AND works. Forefront also works but is pricey in comparison I feel.... I was shocked when I realised quite how much it was, when I had it "recommended" for use in a solar farm!!! Ragwort should be sprayed at rosette stage in the Spring (too late now really) with animals removed for (I think 2-3 weeks) then if you can, spray again in the Autumn and take out any new arrivals before winter. Then spray the rosettes again in the Spring. This plan will remove even massive infestations, and make it manageable with hand pulling afterwards. I have sprayed (and killed) big ragwort which was then pulled so as to remove anything the horses would eat. I also had some success on a couple of occassions near a motorway with late spraying, and then flail topping in hot weather and the debris just faded away in the heat, I think they may have harrowed the one lot as well, to move the muck about, and that helped with the breaking down process too.
