I see it on a regular basis, although cow parsley it is not it is similar, burr chervil/hemlock it is. there was a post about how to kill it a few days ago, maybe they can confirm it?

Wild carrot +1. Becoming a real problem here. Very competitive once it gets going. Ally max at full rate is about the only thing that will touch it.

Break the stem and smell it, that will confirm its wild carrot.

Looking at bur chervil on google looks like it.

Half rate ally was not enough, starane seems to have twisted it up pretty well for now
