MCPA application rate for rushes ?
How have you bought it Dereck? Second hand in old milk bottles?
I will admit, it seems hugely inconsiderate that the bloody French supply their ag Chems with labels printed in French
Agritox goes at 3.3 litres per hectare (1 pint 8oz per acre ), or dilute for spot spraying at 18ml per litre (best mixed with 10ml per litre of 2.4-D e.g. Thrust).MCPA application rate for rushes ?

Yes, imperial.Is that fluid oz?
Will it matter if the rushes are leggy with this mixture?
Do they want topping first and then the regrowth spraying?

Roundup rate in a,weedwipper. Hes been putting 3 litre x 50 litres MCPA in it if that helps
For some fields it's the only option . But hoping the ,weedwipper works.Found the best way for the rush on my farm and I am slowly winning with them now. Top hard, two passes 2-3 weeks apart on the really old large rush patches with a humongous root ball that sticks out the ground. allow a regrowth of soft green brash and then hit hard with the weed wiper and glyphosphate or the MCPA 2.4D mixture if a large area. I have had to do extensive drainage to get to these palces due to poor management for years gone by.... Spread muck so thick you can't see the ground and smother the little barstewards. They die back over 12 months and so far very small regrowth has been hit the MPCA and 2.4D cocktail to again great effect.
Liming will help and also drainage, I have slowly repaired old clay suffs and dug new trenches to help but by no means a permanent fix.
I go 1:10 in the weedwiper, most possibly to much but fudge it it kills um and it only actually touches the rush so I can live with that

I've been using MCPA on rushes for 40 years .its half a job . Roundup kills them dead with one hit . You can all argue with me till your blue in the face but that's how it is
