What herbicide do you guys use to kill broadleaf weeds in clover & alfalfa plots ?? We have clethodim for grasses. I looked up Butyrac 200 and it lists alfalfa, but not clover. Any help is appreciated.
There are a lot of broadleaf weeds that mowing doesn't fix...Yellow Rocket, Dock, and Plantain are a few that if you mow 'em, they just regrow and flower lower than can be mowed.Most of the time if it's broadleaf weeds I'll mow it and it seems to work, grass is another story and needs sprayed.
Canada Thistle is probably my most hated weed. I've been fighting it for several years. I've mowed it, I've spot weed-wacked it, I've hand pulled thousands of them,and I've tried digging it up. Those were all 100% failures. Pulling is NOT recommended, so I guess digging wouldn't be either unless you're sure that you will get the entire, extensive root, because it'll just sucker...been there, done that.I've tried a few different herbicides, both spot spraying and complete field spraying with gly, Raptor, and 2,4db with limited success.There is some thistle - we'll have to dig those out I guess

You also force more energy into the root system which requires higher dose of herbicide ...
I have sprayed weeds in clover with Glyphosate, killed the weeds and the clover rebounded.
I have heard of folks spraying gly on clover to remove the weeds. I am nervous I would end up killing everything. What rate did you apply gly to the plot- ounces of gly per gallon of water?
We've always used Stinger on Canada thistle patches. It's death on them.
Farmer Dan recommended somewhere to try, if you're brave, 1 quart per ac of gly on clover. Said to make sure you're calibrated, have healthy clover, and have good moisture.
