Spelling has nothing to do with it.

Until you sent the pic to me I had no idea what it was.

In fact it does not even grow in my area.

Sometimes folks tend to ask questions that are very specific to a region - either ignoring or forgetting that this board covers a lot of ground.

So I asked and you answered.

Thnx

Nope and I might add I have never seen it in the Peace River country either.

We do have our probs with other stuff though.

The 2-4-D does a good job if you catch it before it starts going to seed. Seems after that, the seed heads continue to develop.

We have an Orchard grass/red clover/ Durana clover field that had a bit of Dock trying to make a show, so I hand sprayed each plant. Hopefully that will reduce the re-seeding. It took a while, but clean hay is worth it.

we use milestone. it works all summer. but don't plan on growing any clover in that field for at least two years.

The field that I spot sprayed was more clover than grass. When I sprayed the 2,4-D, of course I did get some on the clover. I was surprised that it only burned the tips of the leaves on the clover that I sprayed. In a few weeks, you couldn't tell that I had sprayed the clover at all, since it regenerated new leaves.
When the hay was cut, I walked over the fresh cut hay and then rode through the windrows to see if I could find any seedhead that I missed. I found about 100 more plants. I could tell the Dock that I sprayed the second go round after the clover had reached a little over 2 feet.
The leaves had turned red and brown, but the heads still continued to develop. Hopefully I got them all and the population will be cut down drastically for next year.

Weed free hay is way up there on my list.
