I'll look for the Remuda. |
Some of the "brush killer" sprays you can buy in the retail stores is the same thing as the Garlon which us farmers can buy, just less concentrated and a lot more expensive per ounce. Garlon works very well kiling blackberries (we have problems with them growing wild along our drainage ditch banks). I will pretty much spray them anytime I find the time but my brother was reminding me the other day that they are more easily killed in the fall.
One thing that works well with many hard-to-kill things is to cut the plant down low and then brush undiluted spray concentrate (I've mixed Garlon and Roundup) right onto the fresh wound for it to be drawn into the plant before the wound is healed over with sap.
Good luck!
