A concentrated formulation controlling all species of docks. Use on both grazing and silage ground. Very safe to grass.
Docks need controlling because:
• They compete with grass for space, light, nutrients and water – reducing grass yields
• Docks have only 65% of the feed value of grass
• They are unpalatable to stock. Docks in silage can affect fermentation and reduce overall quality.
Choose DoxstarPro because it:
• Gives excellent control of broad-leaved dock, curled dock and chickweed
• Moves to the roots ensuring high levels of long-term control
• Can be used in silage fields, hay meadows and grazing pastures for significant benefits in forage yield and palatability
• Is very effective on seedling dock and common chickweed
• Is very safe to grass.
Best practice: application advice
We recommend application with at least 75% drift reducing nozzles (DRN).
DRN is typically an air inclusion nozzle which creates larger droplets that contain small bubbles of air. This coarser droplet enables the spray to travel accurately from nozzle to target. On impact the bubble bursts leaving smaller droplets across the leaf for absorption. This means less drift and more deposit of product on to the target leaf. Travelling speed and water volume will determine the exact type of nozzle to use:
• Make the application in at least 200 litres water/hectare.
• Optimal travelling speed when spraying grassland is typically in the range of 8 to 10kph depending on field conditions.
* Ragworth label guidance
Where ragwort is present users should consult the Code of Practice on How to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort. Ragwort plants sprayed with this herbicide are more palatable and contain higher levels of toxins. Animals should be excluded from treated areas until any ragwort has completely recovered or died and there is no visible sign of the dead weed.
Do not include treated ragwort in hay or silage crops.
