    What's the best spray for control of docks in grazing or silage ground? One that won't check the grass too much.

    we sprayed DockstarPro this week. Sprayed at 7pm and by lunchtime next day docks visibly twisting.
    Our first run at spraying with full size sprayer so hopefully we got application right, Feckin docks are a scourge.

    Would MCPA be good enough to kill thistles or would I need something like Thislex or Forefront T ?

    I found manure (or growthy weather) and thistlex to give a great kill

    What is Hygrass Extra used for? Found a small drum of it, think it might have been from a pack with another product?

    The mcpa will kill for this year but the thislex will kill it properly and won’t be back next year
