will grazon kill buttercups

Anyone used Grazon sucessfully to tackle buttercups? Grazon is the best selective herbicide on the market.

Most Tennessee producers will label weeds as the most cumbersome problem they face in their pastures. Yes I have had the tomato plant + Grazon hay manure disaster. If it's bermuda. After you spray, keep the horses of it until it dries. I was hoping Grazon 90 would kill them....but it seems the same story as your Broadsward. I think I failed to mention that I limed last fall at two tons per acre but at this point I'm not sure of the results if any.Boy how time fly's!

Hopefully the pony will not chow down on the dying weeds. The rate at which you apply GrazonNext HL Herbicide will depend on the specific type of thistle you are treating. No since in putting it down twice.

They differ mainly in leaf shape and growth, but all produce characteristic bright yellow blossoms. We live in cotton country and this can be a problem.

Anyone limed their paddocks 'by hand'? The local Co-Op said that since the buttercups have bloomed the Grazon won't kill them but will take care of the Chickweed. This weed is easily controlled with 2,4-D amine at 1 to 2 pt/A.

Buttercup - Spray buttercup in late February or early March before it flowers. You must log in or register to reply here. March to early April is the best time to kill buttercup. I have an increasing number of buttercups in my fields. 28 May 2009 #2.

they are predominantly creeping buttercups.The farmer limed my field in mid-April, told me it would kill the moss and buttercups, but TBH it did nothing for the buttercups which seem to thrive on it! It kills weeds for something like 18 months. No since in putting it down twice.

Grazon should only be used in a knapsak sprayer and the stock exclusion is only 7 days (although I always leave an extra week in addition to recommended with any product). Farmer friend recommended Headland Polo but I haven't tried it yet. If it is too late for the buttercups there are lots of other things to hit. I started this a year ago and got busy with having trees cut out of the yard and neglected our pastures and almost anything else horse related and here it is a year later I'm back with the same problem.

I think I'm going to tough it out and hold off until next spring and in the mean time run some soil samples like Baldy suggested and see what the soil needs. In dormant bermudagrass, either glyphosate or paraquat will control buttercup at normal use rates. Seeding your pastures, particularly those bare spots, with a variety of grass that thrives in your area, is the best ways to keep buttercups and other undesirable weeds at bay. Rather selfishly, it's nice to know i'm not the only one!Round-up kills everything, grass included though, doesn't it?I'm plagued with the damn things too this year and if one more non-horsey person says 'don't they look lovely!' The buttercups and "chickweed" as we call it have taken over our pastures and the good grasses aren't growing. If you have a cooler season grass ,such as fescue, you will need to use something other than Grazon.I have used it on 40 acres for the past 4 years and plan on using it again this year.

Thanks.What type of grass are you growing in your pastures?

I think I'm going to tough it out and hold off until next spring and in the mean time run some soil samples like Baldy suggested and see what the soil needs. I will personally drag them face down through the lot until they are covered in weeping blisters

It will clean up a pasture.Our pastures are mostly fescue with some clover mixed in.

There are several species of this winter annual.

That may be down to the fact that we then went 3 weeks without rain so the lime didn't get washed into the soil (and I had to remove the horses to a livery yard but that's another story! I usually like to wait 48 hours, as the chemical kind of reactivates with the early morning dew. Metsulfuron 60 DF, Cimarron Plus, Grazon P+D, Grazon-Next HL and dicamba + 2,4-D also control glyphosate or paraquat will control buttercup at normal use rates. Grazon 90 did not kill my buttercups, and I followed instructions to the letter. While fields filled with buttercups in spring may offer aesthetic benefits to passersby, to producers they are simply a pest.

The goal is to spray buttercup before bloom.

The hay field has never ever had a problem before, but this year even that has big patches. Buttercup (Ranunculus . obv you need to leave the ponies off it for a number of weeks (depending on rain fall) after application but if you section bits off should be easy enough.I have a major problem with buttercups this year - the paddocks had some last year but they absolutely exploded this year.
