Remember, mowing must be to a three inch stubble. Mowing to a stubble of six to eight inches provides little benefit in controlling TSA and may not enhance herbicide activity. Be sure to use a spot treatment to control the remaining 5 percent about 60 days after the second spray application. This treatment is generally used where plants are not accessible to mowing equipment. To avoid spot spraying the same plants twice or not spraying a plant at all, add a colored dye to the herbicide solution, prior to spraying.
