Fall musk thistle control seen via herbicides in Kansas
Research by Walter Fick of Kansas State University shows musk thistle can be nearly eliminated on grassland if fall applications are made between October 1 and December 1 using 2 4 D low volatile ester at two pounds per acre or Tordon 22K at one eighth pound acid equivalent per acre. He notes fall rosettes reduce spring flowering and warns of drift and broad infestation across over a million acres in Kansas.
