To demonstrate herbicide(s) and timing of application options for the control of horehound.
Key messages
Treat infested pastoral areas with 3.0 litres MCPA amine per hectare in the autumn. Apply the MCPA with 100 litres of water per hectare. Horehound can be a difficult plant to wet. A wetting adjuvant may be of assistance.
Maintain grasses to prevent the establishment of seedlings. Burn the infested area the following year, in early
autumn, to destroy as much of the seed bank as possible. Respray the area later in the autumn to control any subsequent horehound germinations with MCPA amine.
