    Is it okay to mix both? Docks are pretty bad in some areas.

    A waste of money I'd say. And they might be cotra-indicated. And dockstar is to pricey for the amount of ground a bottle covers. Go with the mircam. Do take your time and do it right and you'll get a fine kill.

    Mircam am only kills the leaf but not the root. It also kills the leaf quickly so you think you are getting great results but it flatters to deceive.

    @bogman_bass Would you say dockstar is more of a permanent fix, if used over a certain period?
    I'll be using it for silage ground mostly, so killing the leaf is probably only necessary.

    can't advise on mixing the 2

    you'd want to see what stage they are at

    Mircam states it's most effective at the seedling stage

    in my opinion most effective translates to bang for your buck

    as stated above doxstar is expensive enough

    You'll clear it for this crop but it'll be back next year. Rockstar will be more of a long term fix
