Please can this new germination of Bidens be sprayed?
Thank you!

Hi Rosie, I’ve spent a fair bit of time controlling Bidens subalternans and Bidens pilosa recently, if you have no luck getting them sprayed they’re quite easy to pull out and remove, it wouldn’t be a big job if your estimate of 16-100 is accurate. Consider your safety on the roadside though.
