Reseeded land - chick weed

    I reseeded some land earlier in the year, did an after spray but the field is riddled with chick weed or something that looks very like it. The after spray (Underclear) did a great job on the docks but nothing for the chick weed, although it was meant to.
    Anyone come across this before? Any suggestions on what to do?
    Is it too late for envy or some such?

    At this stage, you’re probably just as well to leave them. They only grow for one year. Top them, if you want to improve the look of it.

    Underclear wont kill Chickweed as you now know, Triad included in the tank mix would’ve sorted it. I’d look into it even at this stage

    Keep it grazed down it will disappear. Had a bit of it in paddocks this summer after last years drought. It has all disappeared at this stage .

    Chickweed and red-shank both follow the plough. I wouldn't worry about it as long as the grass mix is coming as well. If it was docks or dandelion then I'd be inclined to spray

    Either top the field, or graze it with light stock, if its established enough,
