best spray for reseeding

50HX

did some reseding last autumn

got it sprayed with underclear and then grazed

took first cut silage 3weeks ago off it and just coming right now for docks and chickweed

lookint at forefront t but says do not use on grass under 1 year ol

pastor trio is an option - anyone use this before or is there something else that'll do the dock and chickweed

it's by no mean bad but now would be the time to hit them before they establish

I was thinking eagle or prospect

eagle wont kill chickweed though?

Triad will kill chickweed but it will check clover. Undersown/ undercover won't kill chickweed.

Cattle will eat the chickweed out of it unless it is very strong and the grass will out compete it theb. Docks are the ones to get rid of and that other three leave weed I cannot think of its name it often in new reseeds as well even if not in the old pasture.

I've about quarter of an acre which I reseeded and needs spraying. Can't really justify buying a full bottle for it. Have doxstar and MCPA in the shed. Would they completely destroy it? Not worried about clover etc. Just dong want a paddock of weeds

If its recently reseeded topping it a couple of times will kill several of the weed species. You could run a lawnmower around a quarter of an acre if it's wasn't too rough.

MCPA is a good spray for reseeds if you have no clover. Look up the mix rate

MCPA isn't suitable for new grass leys but doxstar will be ok. Apply max 1.5L/ha and it kill most weeds.
