I spot sprayed a big chunk of my milkweed with a heavy dose of roundup and hand pulled another chunk of it.
A month later the results are:
In the spray patch, overspray killed everything green in the field, except the milkweed. It yellowed some of the milkweed and killed some but it sprouted right out the side of the stalk below the dead part. Quite aggressive regrowth, maybe due to no competition after spraying.
In the pulled patch, the regrowth has been slow, only about 1/4 of the plants pulled have regrown. We pulled them again.
I ran out of time to finish the largest patch so I mowed it down again for now. We are concentrating on keeping stuff in ditches and isolated patches from making it to seed.
I think I won't bother with spray for now as it takes almost as long as pulling and I have to replant.
