Paul, the dicamba (Banvel) is a good idea... as it will not kill most of the grasses in the fencerow. I usually try to use the Roundup because it is cheaper and I want the immediate fenceline area to be free of all vegitation, so I don't have to mow under the fence. The 4oz. rate of "LV4" (low volatility 2-4D) is the maximum label rate for hand sprayers. I did some experiments {on my own} with this mix on hemp dogbane, lambsquarter, ragweed, horseweed, johnsongrass, canada thistle, polkweed, shattercane, waterhemp, virginia creeper, honeysuckle, poison ivy, and many other plants. I sprayed a few plants with just one of each of the LV4 and Roundup herbicides and then sprayed a few with the combined mix (I did use spreader in all the sprays). The Roundup by itself would make the plants yellow and sickly, the LV4 would burn the leaves but not really attack the main parts of the plants... but the two together knocked the "thunder" out of the plants... even killed the rhyzome roots! Also I tried spraying the plants till the mix was running off it and also just a single good squirt. Both amounts of spray were fatal to the plants! (so why waste the extra?) You are right that it may take several years to get rid of the problem weeds... as the weed seeds regrow the area!
