Frequently Asked Questions

When is best to spray docks & thistles?

Wait for active growth. Target spray at a rosette stage - 15cm across. Once a seed head appears, performance will be less. Take a look at the Spray Timing toll in Support Tools of the Corteva Forage App to get more information.

When is the best time to control buttercups?

Best control is achieved by application pre flowering to active leaf growth. This is likely to be in April. 

Which Corteva grassland products control ragwort?

Only Forefront® T controls ragwort. Other products can have some effect so if ragwort is present at the time of spraying ensure animals are returned when either ragwort has decayed completely or has greened back up and become unpalatable again.

Best Practice Guidelines

To optimise use of our grassland products, ensure to apply products within the recommendations outlined in the Best Practice Guidelines associated with each product.
