    Is it to late to spray for docks?

    I don't think so and have spot sprayed rosette stage docks in aftergrass and its mullering them, once they young and actively growing you could blast away

    Dry here today so i sprayed with dockstar. Fields were cut the 4th of August. Very noticeable lack of growth around some of the hedges. Maybe due to lack of rain.

    Yes I've noticed that too and what your saying makes sense. But I won't complain cos rest of ground is more than making up. Can aee being able to graze that bit longer this backend

    had a massive crop of the fecker in one field this year. field was redseeded 2 years ago (there was a handy crop of docks in it then too but there is a lot more now). cut if for silage, then once the gras had stated to grow again let the cows in to clean it off and gave a a run of round up. power harrowed and re seeded. should have given it a preemergance spray for the docks but didnt.

    anyway massiv eloadof dock in it this year closed it for silage and sparyed it for them a few weeks ago befroe takign the second cut. should i sparay it again next spring?

    If you see them coming up again spray them again , because they wont stop growing of their own accord

    going spread slurry in that field over the next few days, by the time the dock will be startign to show again it might be too cold to spray, hence my thinking next spring might be a better bet. The adjioning feild have also gotten good coatings of slurry over the last few years but no docks there
