Weed control on pasture and silage ground

In a joint episode of the OviCast and Beef Edge podcasts, Ciaran Lynch and Catherine Egan are joined by Chris Maughan from TP Whelan to explore practical weed control strategies.

Chris outlines a wide range of control options for common problem weeds, including docks, thistles and ragwort. Also discussed are clover-safe sprays and how to plan weed control programmes when establishing or maintaining clover and multispecies swards.

The conversation covers key technical considerations such as sprayer setup, nozzle selection and how water quality can influence spray performance. The episode wraps up with best practice advice on managing water quality and the safe disposal of chemical containers.
