Which spray?

Just read the data sheet..envy is out as it’s two months after establishing seed so I either take a chance and wipe out the new seedlings or shop elsewhere for the right product. It’ll be the latter, I’ve got a use for the envy anyway so no worries there as the cutting date is 7 days after treatment.

Your problem as I see it but may be wrong
Fluroxypyr is 3 unfolded leaves on new grass leys , but that's at a reduced rate for new seedlings, you are trying to kill established Docks in a new ley ,

The docks have only come this spring, there wasn’t a dock in the autumn when I drilled it, they seem to only have appeared since scratching it. Plan B then I think, cut it young, wait for regrowth, spray with round up and cut again. Reseed with mid term straight grass and hammer weeds late autumn and again next year?
