I planted some whitetail imperial clover in the spring. It has some grass and ragweed in it and I was wondering what the best herbicide to spray was. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I just finished spraying all 25 of our clover plots yesterday. We mowed them to about 12" tall 3 weeks ago. Came back a week later & sprayed clethodim for grass. Sprayed the 24DB this week for the broadleaf. MAKE SURE that you get the "B" version, as regular 24D will also kill the clover. All this rain & fert back in spring has them looking great for almost July.

I've never had any luck controlling broadleaf in clover by simply mowing them back. Have heard & read this recommendation alot but never worked for me. If you think about the weeds in your lawn, does mowing get rid of them?

I use the same chemicals as MR. Hawk and Tellico4x4.

As Tellico4x4 stated, be sure you buy 24DB and not the more common 24D for broadleaf weeds or you will kill your clover.
