In a joint episode with Catherine Egan from the Beef Edge, we’re joined by Chris Maughan from TP Whelehan to explore practical weed control strategies.
Chris outlines a wide range of control options for common problem weeds, including docks, thistles, and ragwort.
We also discuss clover-safe sprays and how to plan weed control programmes when establishing or maintaining clover and multispecies swards. The conversation covers key technical considerations such as sprayer setup, nozzle selection, and how water quality can influence spray performance.
The episode wraps up with best practice advice on managing water quality and the safe disposal of chemical containers.
