Tow Behind Agri-Fab Trailer Sprayers

[rixtory]

Hello,
We have a 4 1/2 acre field on a hill that was used over the years for hay but has gone to weed over the past 5 years. We bought it last year. I have started mowing it every couple of weeks with my Kubota BX2200 60" mower and it was starting to look good except now it is completely overrun with poison ivy. Those little plants are absolutely everywhere (which caused me a good deal of itching for several weeks last fall).
I noticed a lot of vines hidden in the high weeds last year after I mowed the first time. I had always thought that if I kept a field shorn to 2"-3" , the poison ivy wouldn't survive, but now I have my doubts.

Does anyone have any tips?

I am also thinking of stopping at TSC and getting a tow-behind 45-gallon Agri-Fab with an 8' boom sprayer and treating the field with some 2,4-D.
I'd appreciate any insight with an Agri-Fab sprayer or how to rid the field of Poison Ivy.
Thanks
Rick

You're going to want something that works on "woody" plants. Regular 2,4-D isn't the best, look for 2,4-DP. May take a few applications to get rid of all the ivy.

Advice I have read about poison ivy was that it was more effective to spray herbcides in the fall. Supposedly that as the plants are going dormant the sap is returning to the roots and better carries the herbicide to the roots. Haven"t really tested it but sounds reasonable.

We spray poison ivy with Round-Up, normally hitting the leaves 2 weeks after the first application. Within a month you can see the plant withering on the tree before it dies. The dead root is still capable of infecting your skin so be careful.
