We spot sprayed 6 acres in light rain about a month ago worked a treat. I think it works better in damp drizzly weather

I did the same at around that time. It started spotting with rain when I had a third of the tank left. Still seems to have worked, but I wouldn’t plan it.

Mine have come back after Thislesex to be honest , unless it's seed , the team tell me that the ones Weedwiped with Forefront have gone completely, trail work only
seems to work differently i certain places , did 5ac last year all thistle gone and bad nettle infestation seriously weakened ,all done proper dose , yet up the road same tank mix same day loads came back , must be different variety .
