Control of grassland weeds guide

Best control of docks will be achieved in good growing conditions when docks are actively growing, and nutrients are actively being transported to new foliage and roots.

If seed stalks are seen on the plant, or if the dock has diseased leaves or is under pest attack, it is better to cut, top or graze and allow re-growth of the docks, before applying chemical.

Do not apply chemicals in a period of drought, as the chemicals will not be taken up by the plant leaves in sufficient quantities.
