PastureMate is a selective herbicide, safe for clover, peas, and cereals when applied as directed. Its systematic action ensures thorough, long-term weed control but requires patience, as it works gradually over several weeks.

Controls a variety of weeds, including annual buttercups, fathen, scotch thistle, black nightshade, giant buttercup, redroot, twin cress, nodding thistle, winged thistle, variegated thistle, californian thistle, docks, hedge mustard, nettles, plantain, willow weed, and wild turnip.

PastureMate Directions For Use

Best results are achieved when applied to young, actively growing weeds. Use the higher rate where weeds are more advanced. Do not spray weeds under stress (drought, water logging etc.), or if rainfall is expected within 2 hours of application.
