    Default Spot treatment herbicide for pigweed?

    My dove club has been battling pigweed for a few years. We have resorted to manually chopping it up a couple times. That isn't a great solution because it comes back.

    What is a good herbicide or herbicide cocktail that would work to kill full grown pigweed by spot spraying individual plants with a wand or backpack sprayer?

    You can spot spray it with 24D.

    2-4d and glyphosate with a really hot crop oil is about your best option as a spray. However the absolute best thing would be to hand pull the, not chop off, haul them out of the field and burn them to avoid the seed spreading.
    U serious Clark?

    This


    Also turn plowing can put the seeds too deep to germinate. Then just shallow disc the field.

    this! ^^^

    chopping it is silly and a waste of time.

    Its not that hard to hand weed a section of field. I've done it. I vowed not to leave my farm without pulling 50 plants each time. Sooner or later, I had it cleaned up....
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    nut grass is my nemesis. My dog must eat it before I pull it and spread it all over the yard. I cannot get rid of that shit.
