When to use field after spraying

[LovesCobs]

I sprayed 2 fields with headland polo and it's worked on flowering buttercups (except for the strip I missed!) and most of the docks and rag. At the weekend I'm going to pull the rag out (it will then have been 16 days) should I wait 3 weeks?
Also the buttercups are withered up, I'm just checking how long to leave it before I can put the horses back on?
Thanks for any advise

If you've got ragwort, you are meant to wait 6 weeks, unless you can guarantee that you will pull every bit out. Ragwort it at it's most dangerous when it's dead.

Normal weeds - 2 weeks, as above re ragwort (but if there are only a few plants and you are vigilant you have got them, should be ok).

ok great thanks,

I'll pull the rag, there are only a few as i've been keeping up with it by hand, it was the buttercups that were taking over

oh and Dryrot was right in another thread, spraying buttercups in flower does work not that I had much choice they had flowered before we had a dry spell to spray

It normally tells you on the label, I think Polo is 28 days but could be wrong. That's apart from ragwort of course - until it is all gone for that.

just found the data sheets, it says 2 weeks and until poisonous weeds become unpalatable. so pulling the rag should mean it's fine after 2 weeks

we have just sprayed for buttercups and the label says 2 weeks. It is working on the in flower ones, they are definately shrivelling up. Downside is it is that wet that the other half of the field is getting trashed Doh!
