Application notes and guidance:
- Ragwort is best treated in rosette stage – before flowering & when growing vigorously
- Ragwort control is usually carried out in spring or autumn
- Spray before ragwort flower spikes start to grow
- Always allow a minimum of 14 days before returning grazing animals
- All ragwort should have died back totally or removed prior to returning livestock
- This can often take longer than three to four weeks
- Ideally apply when majority of weeds are small and at a seedling stage
- When spraying either with a knapsack or tank spray - use a medium spray
- Pet safe once dry
- Allow at least 4 days after application before rolling/mowing
- If recently mown or grazed - allow 2 weeks before applying Thrust weed killer
- Thrust herbicide will kill clover - do not apply if clover is an important part of the grazing land
- Only use on grassland established for 12 months
Use 90ml Thrust in 5-10L water covers 250m2
Or in a tankmix (better for dock control) 60ml Thrust + 25ml Hurler in 5-10L of water to cover 250m2
Thrust weed killer can be applied at 3.5L/ha in 200 litres of water per hectare
As a Tank Mix for a boom sprayer combine 2.5 L of Thrust with 1.0L of Hurler in 200-400L of water to cover 10,000m2
Why it is important to use a herbicide like Thrust where ragwort and grazing animals are present
- Ragwort plants can kill horses and grazing cattle if eaten
- It is difficult to spot ragwort poisoning in livestock before it is too late
- In one season a single ragwort plant can produce over 10,000 seeds which can spread quickly
- Seeds from a plant can germinate over many years, increasing infestation levels
- To eradicate, reduce the plants presence. It is vital to have a regular control programme for ragwort
- Livestock will not usually eat ragwort while it is growing, but when it has been cut and has wilted it becomes much more attractive and palatable.
- Common Ragwort will need to be sprayed over a minimum of two years in order to get complete control
- Failure to control ragwort on your land may lead to prosecution
Thrust weed killer also gives control of the following weeds:
Susceptible:
Thistle, creeping (plants up to 50 cm high)
Moderately susceptible:
Buttercup, creeping, Ragwort, common, Dock, broad-leaved, Dock, curled
