Glyphosate through a splatter gun at 1:20 mixture.
Can you burn Bathurst burr?

The key to the effective control of spiny burrgrass is to prevent seeding and exhaust any reserves of seed in the soil. This can be achieved through integrating cultivation, herbicide application, increasing competition through good pasture establishment and management and cropping.

Galvanised burr can be killed via herbicides such as 2,4-D but these can badly damage any present naturalised or introduced legumes. Once legumes have hayed off in spring and following a reasonable rain these herbicides can achieve useful weed kills but not damage grasses.
How is Bathurst Burr spread?
The burrs attach to the coats of animals and to other fibrous material by their hooked spines. Dispersal in the fleece of sheep is common. The fruits float and are readily dispersed in water. Seed harvested from summer crops is sometimes contaminated with burrs and Bathurst burr may be spread in this way.
