Abstract

Pasture infested with Californian thistle (Cirsium arvense) was treated in a large scale paddock trial for thistle control using MCPA, MCPB and mechanical topping. and the effect on cattle production measured. All treatments gave significant control of Californian thistle with little difference between MCPB and MCPA but MCPA depressed clover and cattle liveweight gains significantly. Topping while successful in controlling Californian thistle on this trial may not be as effective under a dairy rotation.
