Butyrac 200?

Anyone use this and how are the results? I have a good amount of clover in the pastures I'd like to keep if possible.

It's pricey, and weeds have to be very small to get a good kill. In my experience, if you don't have thistle to kill, use 24d at a rate less than 1qt/acre, and a good portion of the clover will survive. Especially if you do it when you've had rain, and more rain on the way.

Also, I ran some numbers, and for me, it was cheaper to spray 24d and frost seed clover the next year, than spray butyrac. Also, more successful weed kill with 24d

I was wondering about that after looking more at it. Thanks for the info.

Of all the times I've sprayed 24d, I don't think I've ever had any clover killed. I know it's labeled to kill clover, but it must take a stronger rate than I use, which kills most everything else.

Best I can understand it is not labeled for pasture. It's for use in row crops and almost every weed listed must be less than 3". Many less than 1"

I looked at a label once considering it and thought it had grazing restrictions.

It does have grazing restrictions
