    Anyone know if its ok to mix D50 (ragworth, rushes) with Triathlon (thistles, nettles) for spraying at the same time? Considering this as a certain field has everything!

    Maybe ask where you buy it?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Ya was going to but it's a bank holiday Sunday:-( Not going to wait till Tuesday.

    Going to go at it tomorrow with the good weather forecast. Probably will just go with D50 as it gets Ragworth and lots of other stuff. Don't want to risk mixing em without some advice as could be a big waste.

    I would say don't ever mix chemicals like this. And the chances are the lads on the store aren't qualified to give and opinion on it either.
    God knows how the reaction would go nor what toxic/explosive gases may be released.

    Think about it. If they could be combined to create a super spray, the companies would be doing it and charging a fortune for it. ;)

    I did this last year for a field with rushes and ragworth. It appeared to kill neither but maybe it was the fault of the bad year - rain, poor growth - rather than the mix. However, considering the price of spray, I'd be inclined to go separate this year

    Mixing them wouldn't cause any problems, if I remember correctly Triathlon is just a mix of MCPA, CMPP and dicamba. A full rate of D50 mixed with a half or 3/4 rate of Triathlon should do a good clean-up job on everything.
