Buttercup is up and starting to grow here. I have sprayed before with 2/4D Amine and 2/4D Ester but VA Extension says Grazon P+D is better. Gonna follow the recommendation unless someone has a better idea or bad experience with the Grazon P+D.
Any thoughts?

P+d is available in generics now for a much better price. I think p+d is better than grazon next. It does require a license where next doesn't.

I hate buttercup. The fields are beautiful when it sprouts and blooms, but it is so toxic. To mow it when it is tall and blooming will make you feel as if you have the flu. Cattle won't graze around it either. If I spray for it, then the following year it will come right back up from where the run off from the fields bring in more seed and it gets distributed back in the pasture when the water rises in the drainage ditches. My pastures are on the low side of over 1000 acres of crop land. The pastures get flooded each year for a short period of time in a flash flood.
I have to be very careful what I spray with as there are crops on all four sides of my house and pasture.
I usually wind up having to bush hog it out. When the yellow flowers begin to open we hit it on the short side and usually have to do it a second time and it pretty well stops it.
I wish that the dreaded Japanese Beetle would eat it so when they came in numbers I could feel good about their purpose. But no, they have to eat the things that we like. I loved the year before last when it didn't get above freezing in December as it froze the ground deep enough to kill out the grubs, and I saw only a handful of beetles.
