Are you using 1 ltr / ha ?
'eckin 'ell you don't want much :rolleyes: i can't remember that off hand :rolleyes:

you need an agronomist or look on label ...g/litre of ai to compare thistlex to straight clopyralid

you could leave the thistles until 15th july then top....repeat in oct....works as well but a bit of an eyesore whilst waiting in summer
