Detail description
Reseeding pastures requires careful herbicide selection to control weeds while protecting clover. This guide details non-clover-safe and clover-safe herbicides, including Pastor Trio, Fluroxypyr 200g/L, Envvy, Legunex DB, Roundup, and Paddock, with specific application rates of 0.75–1.5 L/ha for effective control of docks, thistle, chickweed, dandelion, nettle, and daisy. Clover-safe options like Paddock ensure pasture integrity. Pasture varieties are assessed by PPI, with Abergain scoring 214 (highest) and Kintyre 134 (lowest), reflecting differences in growth, quality, and profitability. All varieties listed are non-perennial.
