War on thistle escalates around rockbreaks and spray timing

Clarke County agriculture official notes thistle seeds spread rapidly and rosette spraying in fall is most effective. Fall use of 2,4-D Ester from Sept 15 to April 1, and 2,4-D Amine with sticker, are advised. spring spraying requires early action and rosette control, with clipping as backup. Aerial spraying last fall controlled most thistles on 1,000 to 1,400 acres. A thistle weevil has been released on 19 county farms to reduce seed production, with slow but hoped-for long-term impact.
