Yes. Glyphosate but don't skimp on water conditioners or grams/active as it can be a bit tricky to get a good kill.

It is troublesome to kill with glyphosate.
If you had a serious population and they were all larger and really going for it, I would opt to use kyleo. Definitely use adjuvant with any glyhosate product.

It laughs off glyphosate here, certainly once they are any bigger than that.

This is my experience also. I am not sure if this is a resistance type thing or not but there have always been some plants which don't seem all to bothered by it. Usually stuff like this you drag out of a hedgerow.

But check on the timing before subsequent cropping.... I think SB should be OK, but Kyleo is a long old wait...
Sodding stuff and a major problem in some of the bumblebird mix land here...
I have wondered sometimes whether an old fashioned hormone type herbicide could work, but as I usually have other rubbish to contend with, the 2,4D in Glyphosate is essential. Then wait 6-7 weeks before DD.
I was debating what is the position of one pass with glyphosate, then a 2nd pass
with 2,4D shortly after??Still not on the Nufarm Depitox 2,4D label. I looked at the HSE Pesticide database and the only 2,4D products approved outside a crop are the blends with glyphosate like Kyleo.I was debating what is the position of one pass with glyphosate, then a 2nd pass

I normally use 1.5 or 2L Kyleo and then topup the grams of glyphosate with 1 or 2L generic 360. Does RBWH and cranesbill well here. I use the higher rate if it's colder or the plants are bigger.

Never had an issue in the tank with it.
4L Kyleo will definitely nail them quickly, but I've found it's overkill on the 2,4-D a lot of the time. I think you only need enough to put the weed on the 'back foot' and then the glypho will finish the job eventually. Kyleo has a great wetter package too, so you can ride on its coat tails to get more grams of glypho into the plant.

Yes, this is the only downside with using kyleo- some crops are sensitive to it and have big sowing intervals. To be fair, you need to be leaving it a week to let it get to work on troublesome weeds really or you will be doing yourself no favours.
