I'm going to start a new thread on what'll kill Horsenettle. I've been walking terraces backpack spraying the weeds that got missed and I've run into a little Horsenettle. I sprayed a spot 2 nights ago and ran out of spray, when I got back to that spot today I could definitely tell what had been sprayed by me, it was dead and the feeble attempt Liberty made on the stuff. I used 8 oz of 2-4d amine and 2 oz of Tordon RTU stumpkiller in a gallon of water and that is it's death sentence, the good news is it'll leave the grass alone.

I never tried the tordon but 2,4-D has little effect on horsenettle on my farm. I use Grazon 1 quart to the acre. The county agent told me that the only way to get rid of it permanently was to cut it short at 30 day intervals when it was blooming and spray it in the early fall at it's last growth. It's a perennial with a deep root system.

You have been using Tordon and just did not know it. Grazon has some of the same active ingredient as Tordon.

Horse nettle is easier to kill than hores nettle.
