Calhoun County Michigan horse pasture. I am getting a lot of Hoary Alyssum in my hoarse pasture. White flowers bloomed. . Is there a herbicide that can be used safely in a horse pasture? A lot to hand pull. If there is what would recommended application amount be? How many applications and how far apart? With flowers is it too late to spray? I have not found anything that mentions Hoary Alyssum in lists of ones they handle. Don’t want to waste money if it won’t work. Thank you for your help
