Bracken fern is a vigorous and aggressive weed that spreads rapidly due to strong underground stems (rhizomes). Thus, attempts to control it using most contact herbicides is less likely to offer meaningful results.
Glyphosate based herbicides such as Roundup Turbo or Touchdown Forte are effective in controlling the weed.
Follow-up sprays should be done to destroy the fronds and the rhizomes, and thus complete weed control.
However, care should be taken to avoid spray drifts to leaves and other tender green parts of the crop during spraying.
