How to get rid of Camomile?

[Perissa]

My winter field has quite a lot of chamomile in it. When there wasn't so much of it I controlled it by pulling. Last year I sprayed it with Graze On which made it look very sick and appeared to kill it off but this year it has come back with a vengance. I made the mistake (hindsight is wonderful) of topping it but after topping it it seems to have gone beserk. Mind you warm wet weather helped.

I know it isn't poisonous but the horses don't eat it unless dried and its at the stage where there really is too much to pick and dry so I want to know what can I spray on it to kill it. Any other ideas?

We have it growing in the gateways, where the ground is always getting poached or bald, and my horse loves eating it. Perhaps I should send her round!

Roundup [grammoxone] will kill any green plant material, but maybe you could sell it!

Trouble is that its mixed in with the grass and I don't want to kill that - the Roundup will kill everything!

You're welcome come and pick as much as you want!!!

You lucky girl. I have to pay for it.
It's great for itchy skin.

I have the same problem - there's a difference between having a bit for horses to snack on and it taking over the world!

Have a chat to a local agronomist and see what they advise. I have had success using Pastor http://www.dowagro.com/uk/products/prod/pastor.htm but an agronomist should be able to advise based on your soil type and what other weeds you are trying to get rid of.
