[QUOTE="cattlegrazer, post: 230594, member: 3808"] Hey all, That is definitely [b]burdock[/b], as I think you all have established. I am an Agronomy student and have had several classes regarding the control of certain weeds so maybe I can give some advice :) The plant has an extensive root system and is difficult to kill with most common herbicides (2-4D, roundup). I would suggest using [b]Curtail [/b]or [b]Stinger[/b]. You can find the labels for these chemicals at this website: [url=http://www.cdms.net/manuf/mprod.asp?mp=11&lc=0&ms=3691&manuf=11]http://www.cdms.net/manuf/mprod.asp?mp= ... 1&manuf=11[/url] These herbicides work well (but you still have to be persistent) on tough perennial broadleaf weeds like burdock, thistle, etc... and work best when sprayed when the plant is still in a rosette form in the fall or early spring. It will likely take more than one application too. Make sure to spray at the suggested rate because if you make it too strong, it will kill the above-ground material before the chemical has a chance to make it down to the root, which is really what you want to kill. For this year, I would suggest spraying it as soon as possible to keep it from producing seed. Then, this fall, spray any new ones or any survivors again. Repeat in the spring. I hope this helps! If there is one thing I am good at, its [b]killing weeds![/b] :) 8) :roll: [/QUOTE]
