Fence row weed control with 2,4-D and brush killer
An expert recommends using a 1 quart 2,4 D concentrate in 50 gallons for small areas and spot spraying. For first year, spray twice, then once in years two and three, with maintenance spot spraying thereafter. Use a brush killer mix of 2,4 D and 2,4,6 T at 1 pound per acre when brush is heavy. Spray until plants are moist and avoid drift to crops by spraying on a quiet day.
