Slay is just 2,4,db labeled by Whitetail Institute and marked up in price. A gallon of Butyrac (2,4,db) costs $40, so that’s the more economical way to go. Regardless, it will alsokill your chicory.

That is not correct. Pursuit is only slightly less $$$ than Raptor and available by the gallon. So unless you have 10 or more acres, or a friend to split it with, Slay is an option for a small food plotter.

BUTYRAC 200 BROADLEAF HERBICIDE IN ALFALFA & CLOVER - 1 GAL

PURSUIT GRASS & BROADLEAF HERBICIDE - 1 GAL (Same than SLAY!)

RAPTOR GRASS & BROADLEAF HERBICIDE - 1 GAL (Better than SLAY!)

You're absolutely right, my mistake. I'm not sure why I thought it was 2,4,db. It still seems to me that buying a gallan of Butyrac and a gallon of Arrow or Select is cheaper than buying Slay, Pursuit or Raptor. Including COC, everything can be had for under $200 and there's enough for multiple treatments. I'm going by memory here, but doesn't Whitetail Institute's web site say that Slay will kill chicory?
