this has been a hit and miss product for me. in the past I've just used 2 4 d with good results, but wanted something "better" for the bit of clover I have. it seems overall to not have much effect on clover and or dandelions. I say not much because on a few dandelions it seems to work ok (takes several days) but others nothing at all. my solution mix was per label 1oz/gal with surfactant added. has anybody made a stronger solution with success and had any luck. it just seems like it's mixed not strong enough.

I've had success with WBGCCO, surfactant, and AMS. Like Budstl said, multiple apps are usually in order.
So for mixing purpose in one gallon of water what amount of each (WBG, CCO, and surfactant) would one use? I'd like to try this as long as it wouldn't damage any good grass.

For @airgas1998, I was thinking that WBGCCO (triclopyr) would be all he needs for the clover, but I think results will be better if he adds AMS, along with the surfactant. To dot I's and cross T's, it would be worthwhile to ensure that the solution is created with the right mixing order and is mixed well.

I think triclopyr may be my favorite herbicide. It is powerful on its own, and it seems to bring the best out of whatever it is paired with. I don't know all of the details about these chemical mixtures; that is just what I've observed in my lawn and read in so many terms.

And I do like to mix WBG and WBGCCO. When I mix these, I use the WBG with crabgrass control (2, 4-D, Dicamba, Quinclorac, I believe) and WBG CCO (Triclopyr). This is for spot spraying.
Steps:
Put in 3/4 of my water
AMS at no more than 3oz. per gallon
Mix
WBG at 2.5 fl oz per gallon
WBGCCO at 1 fl oz per gallon
Fill remainder of tank (max solution)
Add NIS at label rate (Mine is 2 teaspoons per gallon)
Add dye to taste
Mix like crazy

I base my order on Movingshrub's post regarding a different cocktail.

Three caveats:
I get my triclopyr from the WBGCCO concentrate bottle. Would triclopyr from another bottle be kosher? I wouldn't make that assumption, but someone else might know for sure.

I have used this mix at least twice on TTTF and KBG, and I've had no damage. But I still say use at your own risk. I personally wouldn't call it safe until I have had a ton of experience with it or unless Greendoc and Company called it a safe mix.

Temperature restrictions are always important, but especially so for triclopyr, from what I understand. :thumbup:
