Thanks for the ideas. I don't have a wick boom applicator, but I do have a bush hog and have resorted to using it to give the sicklepod a haircut on occasion. Not ideal, but once it gets taller than the chufa you gotta try something. I've also tried spraying the sicklepod with gly using a hand sprayer on isolated patches. That kills it, but it usually drips down onto the chufa and kills them too.

007, I'll give the Escort a try. And I wish you the best on getting those research dollars. Why don't you just develop a RR chufa and get rich? I'll finance the project, as long as it doesn't cost over $500 or so.
