Sheep grazing in thistle field

Thistlex®

Herbicide

Thistlex® is a very effective translocated product for both creeping and spear thistle. It is very safe to grass. 

Thistles need controlling because they:

  • compete with grass for space, light, nutrients and water
  • are unpalatable to stock
  • lead to greater incidence of Orf
  • reduce the available grazing
