Used to use Tordon pellets for controlling single plants of tansy and canada thistle in pasture. Was convenient to carry a shaker jug around on the quad or pickup. Looking for ideas of what to use instead. Seems like the squirt bottles aren't that tough and leak. If I go that route I'm thinking a strong mix of 2-4D. Not sure what else would be ok with sitting for a couple weeks at a time?

Would use glyphosate but I want to keep the grass otherwise the thistle or tansy seeds fire right back up.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Grazon would work. I've just never had a spray bottle that can take bouncing around in a gator or quad. That's my real hang up on going with liquid.

Maybe a small sprayer like that carried in a fire extinguisher bracket or something similar. Those bottles are, quite a bit more durable than a standard spray bottle.

Maybe if it has a box to sit in it would help.

Not sure on the shelf life of mixed Grazon?
