Re: Sericea control in remnants

Spot spray with Remedy herbicide in a 2.5% solution. The addition of
surfactant is recommended. Do not spray any broadleaved plant you want to
keep.

For broadcast applicaitons use 1 qt. per acre with a minimum spray rate of
10 gallons per acre. I use 20 gallons per acre spray rate with excellent
results. I have tried 1 pint per acre, which did not get control of serecia.
