[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 376430, member: 637"] Stepper, I'm glad you told me that your buttercup still came back. I wondered about the seeds and how long did they hold germination. A cocklebur I have heard can come up years after it is in the ground. If you turn your soil over, it activates a lot of seed that have been underground. I wonder if the yellow buttercups that you got were from the prior years seeding. When you sprayed it, did you see any flowers at that time? I guess timing might affect it too. If you sprayed it real early when the leaves started showing up, then you still might of had more seed that hadn't sprouted. Then if you spray it after you see flowers, then there are seeds there somewhere. It might be one of those that you need to hit a couple of years in a row to get rid of any seed that might have been left behind. The man next to you, if his cattle are eating it, they must be poor. It is supposed to be noxious. When I cut it one year, it made me sick inhaling the pollen and getting it in my eyes. It was windy that day and the mower had turned yellow from it. Right now, I am keeping it clipped down. There is too much Ladino clover and fescue out there for the cattle. But I think the Durana might have the head start on it and hold it back. That will be my plans for this fall. No matter how you do it, "expensive" is the word. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
