What to kill brush with after bush hogging?

[Pilot]

Jinman is right on.

Always us a surfactant. Farmer 2009 is right except surfactants designed for use with herbicides work better than any household detergent.

Another option is Weedmaster; works well on all broadleaf stuff around here, but Crossbow is better on blackberries. Cheap--looks expensive when you buy it, but you use only half as much in a mix as you do Crossbow. Weedmaster kills clover in grass in the fall which Crossbow seems to miss.

Mix any herbicide according to directions. Going rich will give you real nice top kill, but it will kill the tops before it can translocate to the roots, so you get resprouting.

You are correct Pilot about the surfactants would rather see them used over dish soap. but some will not want to buy the surfactants and in that case I would rather see dish soap used as opposed to nothing.

Never used Weedmaster as I always wanted to keep my clover. Clovers add Nitrogen to the soil. Crossbow and 2,4D will kill clovers that are less than a year old.

The way I've always seen recommended for Remedy/Diesel is to paint/spray it on the trunk at about three foot from the ground to the ground. Not on the leaves. Maybe I was told and did it wrong but that seemed to work. Better on smooth bark trees.

You are correct Remedy does suggest using diesel to make an oil-water spray mixture but also calls for other adjuvants to be added and is mainly recommended for use in an aerial application. Attached is a link to the label. We don't have mesquite in our area so I am not familiar with the control products and practices for it. The Op needed help with mamosa that had been bushhogged no need for an aerial applicator here or oil-water mixes. As mamosa is fairly easy to control with the correct products and procedures.

Also www.cdms.com has labels for free.
