Redroot Pigweed?

[Rit]

Is this Redroot Pigweed or perhaps another form of pigweed? It’s popping up in my switch and field edges and looks loaded with seeds. It is in a lot of fields around me that didn’t get planted in the Spring. It’s not terribly deep rooted. There isn’t so much that I couldn’t pull it up or cut it off and get it out of the field before it drops seeds.

Yep for sure that looks like it. Thanks. Glad
It’s not pigweed. I must have been looking at some mislabeled photos. Some of them sure looked close. There isn’t so much that I can’t spot spray with some 2-4db. Thanks again.

Dock can be a stubborn weed as well....not as bad as pigweed, but still a tough customer.

Clopyralid3 does a decent job on it. Its grass safe, too. It also allowed me to get my canada thistle almost wiped out.

I'll have to see if I can track some down...

Keystone pest.
I got a small bottle (might be a quart??) several years ago and I just use it for spot spraying. It goes a long way. Going on 4 years now and I still have 2/3 of the bottle left.

Looks like about $65 a quart. Not that it would matter much for spot spraying but I did read that it could injure new grass seedlings. I’d risk a few switch seedlings to get rid of my troubles though.
