Spraying Ragwort

sc89 · 2013-04-27 17:10:30

I am planning to spray my fields to kill ragwort this year and I am looking for advice on what chemical spray to use, when to spray them, and how long animals have to be withdrawn from the land after spraying before they can be turned back out for grazing?

D-50 spray as soon as the weather suits ie. dry calm and no frost .
Cattle off for about 3 weeks until the plant becomes unpalatable/disappears.
