What spray to kill stinging nettles?

[Selectamatic]

Hello everyone,

Ive got a few patches of stinging nettles, and would like to kill them.

What would you recommend I put in a Knapsack to get rid of the stingy little buggers?

Grazon Pro

Roundup nails them

Grazon is your best legal option. Wait until they are about 8-10 inches tall.

But leaves a bare patch underneath. No good at all in grassland.

Mix some hatchet with thistlex and nail everything you don't want in pasture!

Hatchet for the nettles.

Boots Brushwood killer always used to work well

No it doesn't. Even at 6L/ha it burns the tops off and they come back.

Dow man told me that Thistlex is actually more effective on nettles than Pastor (which has always been my weapon of choice). Thistlex seems to work very well, but all will need repeated treatment to regrowth if they have a good, established root system.

Forefront has done the best job here with no regrowth since. Only with a tractor mounted sprayer

I have some nettles in an overwintered stubble on some rented taty land. 4l glypho has nailed everything else, couch and all. The nettles laughed it off. It's kind land so likely won't get the tiller through it, so I could do with zapping the buggers in the stubble if possible.

Gallup 360 (glyphosate) is what I usually use. I've had good results.

It's because it has more trichlopyr in it.

MCPA works for me. Done on a nice warm day they wilt before your eyes and it does not bother the grass.

I know from experience you can scorch the grass as well if your not careful
