Best time to spray for buttecup?

[tom4018]

Seems grass is behind but I see some buttercup in pasture but not yet blooming, when would give the best bang for the buck?

I always have too much going to spray it when it needs it. On my place, it only grows where I'm going to have crabgrass (which I like). I'd try to knock it down in the next two weeks. 2 four D likes that stuff to. I've seen as little as 16 ounces to the acre put it in a grave.

I saw where the label says cold weather affects performance, so I questioned where I buy it and they said they would suggest waiting as it is too cool right now.

I did about 30 acres today, just a little more to go. Hope my driving was not too bad, good thing I don't live right on the road so people could see what I miss.

I tell everyone that is a control strip to let me know the herbicide was really working.

Forecast is calling for rain almost everyday this week. No tellin when I will get it sprayed now. Buttercup is two inches tall now, I bet in a week it will be a foot

IMO... I think it's still a good time to spray for buttercup even though it has bloomed which is now in my area!!!

I sparyed last weekend and some more today. If you guys do little looking you can prolly find a foamer. Lots of sprayers don't use anymore with cruisers etc. We put one the pasture sprayer last year. A guy in pleasureville ky that sells sprayers has a pile of them.

According to the test sprays I saw at the field day two weeks ago, spray before it blooms. 24d will kill it. After it blooms the best you can hope for is to curl it up.
