The best way to prevent invasive broad leaf weeds is to maintain strong and healthy pasture growth. Pastures block light from the ground which causes invasive weeds to germinate. Strong dense pasture growth dramatically reduces weed emergence.
Once you have got the broadleaf weeds under control, consider improving pasture composition with vigorous and nutritious pasture species and fertilising to maintain healthy growth
Always refer to the product label to determine the suitability of the product for your intended purpose.
Accuracy is the key to the safe and effective use of weed killers.
Calibrate your sprayer to know how much water it will apply to a given area. In this way you can accurately determine the appropriate rate of weed killer required to be mixed in the sprayer tank.
