Herbicide selection for large plantations

[CentralKyHunter]

Looking for input on herbicide choices to manage competition in my young oaks plantations . I've got 8 acres that I've done pretty good at keeping mowed but have a diverse stand of different broadleafs in some areas and grasses in others .

Anyone been through this? I've got some Cleth I can spray for the grasses but was curious to see what you guys had to say.

Come on fellas , I know you have something to say

It's a pretty complicated issue...way above my area of expertise. It's hard to kill stuff and have a residual effect without hurting the oaks. I recommend you contact a forester, who will most likely have a chemical rep.

How big are the oaks? If they are big enough to spray underneath Roundup might work fine if you can eliminate drift.

I've been in touch with forestry dept but was curious what some of you guys had to say

I've spot sprayed with clethodim and carefully with glyphosate but only on a handful of trees.
