    MCPA50 would be the cheapest but probably won't kill the docks unless you apply heavy.

    Wouldn't apply mcpa more than recomended. It will knock grass too much.
    Use mcpa and Hurler together

    Works well and cheap

    Yes it gives a very good kill of docks. Is one of the cheapest options available. When killing docks timing is everything. You need them at the right stage when they have leaves bigger than a lettuce but smaller than a cabbage. Use a sticker/activator as it breaks down the wax on the leave. It will stunt the grass for a week-10 days but if you want to kill docks you have to accept this.

    Thing about Docks is you may have to spray two year in a row to really wipe out.
