The gallup glyphosate worked on ours. Took a couple of goes but it did kill it. I expect it will be back next year but at least this year I got it cleared from April. A few have come up recently so I'll give it all another dose when it isn't raining.

Glyphosate 360 of ebay
Grazon is brilliant for bramble as well. Not that you should be killing too much of it. It's vital habitat. But where it is unavoidable, it is very effective without killing every other underlying species. I've used it to drive back bramble and restore neglected chalk grassland that had become invaded by scrub.
As per my previous post, Ammonium Sulphamate.
Plant thinks it is Ammonium Sulphate, a fertiliser, and absorbs it through roots and leaves, but instead of having 4 Oxygen molecules in the Sulphate compound, the Sulphamate has 3 Oxygens and a NH2 Amide group, which kills the plant effectively breaking down cellulosic compounds.
After a period in the ground the Sulphamate degrades to Sulphate.
Mixing with Glyphosate increases the effectiveness by adding an additional systemic herbicide.
A wetting agent ie, washing up liquid, helps with absorption.

The only thing I have found to kill marestail is petrol sprayed closely to the weed so you don’t end up with it all over but it all depends on what else you may kill at the same time but it works
Gallup XL for me - I somehow arrived at 120ml per approx 10 litre water for knapsack sprayer. I don't like to use it a lot but life is too short for weeding and it works really well for gravel driveways.
Sadly
Sadly Agent Orange no longer available
I think dinosaurs eat it. Or they used to!
No good on an industrial scale. But read years ago, pull the mares tail, yearly. It really is weed that its parents weren't married a real bxsxaxd.
Eh???!Your not by chance clearing the embankment so you can put your target gongs up there
Seriously no ! Any projectile leaving my premises / boundary would be illegal .
I’m merely trying to hold back the jungle that’s growing right up against and thru the boundary fence !
I’d do manage to get them to cut back over hanging trees but only to a height of about 2.5m ! The rest the said they don’t do !
Which is no interfering with my amateur radio antenna o net side of property / boundary …any work they have done cut back etc has been left lying so it’s veritable jungle / gel hole on that side … I’d love to blotter the lot in agent orange if I could !

im already £7k down for storm arwen damage for wall at the other side of the property that the house insurance wangled out of ....leagalised extortion useless wa*kers they are dont get me started.....
so seriously how much do you think a 50 odd metre stretch of wall at 6ft high over uneven grounds going to cost? versus decent weed killer & bit of maintenance that really should be done by railway company but thats not gonna happen either ....
so helpful suggestion cheers
