If you can get your hands on or find Tordon, that will be the end of it.

I sprayed my boys lot a few years ago with some TSC farm works, generic Glyphosate and 24-d and that stuff worked so good on his lot that I bought some for my place for around the buildings and it works nowhere as good here for some reason.
It could be possible that you have a problem with your water preventing the glyphosate from working properly. You should add a water conditioner and nonionic surfactant like ClassAct to your water 1st, allow it to agaitate and then add your glyphosate. The water conditioner attaches to the minerals in the water instead of inactivating the glyphosate. glyphosate is basically inactive as soon as it hits dirt or minerals which is why minerals in your water are a bad thing. The surfactant will help the chemical spread out on the plant, stick to the plant, and help be absorbed by the plant. I never spray glyphosate without Class Act or similar product added to the water first.
Also some formulations of 24d amine should not be mixed with glyphosate as it can turn into a sludge in your tank. If you spray it all out immediately and don't let it sit you probably won't have a problem, but I know of a rancher that mixed 24d amine and glyphosate, left it sit in his sprayer, and basically he had a load of whale cum to clean out.
Lv4 which is 24d ester or dicamba can be mixed with glyphosate, but both of those are more volatile so use caution in town or around gardens or sensitive plants.

Tordon won't do anything to foxtail barley. Tordon is very grass friendly unless you were to dump way to much on it.

Now a couple ounces of Tordon with 24d amine really does a number on dandylions on a lawn.

Hmmm, could be . I know on the Railroad back in the day, if it was something the roundup wouldn't kill, they always attacked with Tordon

When I farmed I used surfactant and it helped a lot with our hard well water. . It used to be so expensive but found some generic so I put a gallon in my amazon cart, Thanks for jolting my memory.

I paid $5.25 a gallon for gas at New Evarts (SD Lake Oahe) this weekend. Might be fishing close to the boat ramp all summer. My god, how much more can this go?
