Is there a herbicide that will kill burdock and nettle without harming clover?

Question
Hi Grant; is there anything I can spray in my standing clover field that will kill burdock and nettle without killing off my clover? I have been mowing my clover field about every three to four weeks to keep them under control. I debating if I just kill off everything and start over but that would be more expensive. This is the first year of this clover plot as it was planted in the spring.
Thank you for your time

Aaron,
I’m not aware of any herbicide that will kill burdock and nettle without killing clover.
There are lots of species of nettles. That’s to say nettles is a common name for many plants. All of them that I’m aware are difficult to control. Depending on how many stems are in the plot it may be best to simply spot treat each stem and then overseed. This may be less expensive and allow a food source to be preserved. I often spot treat weeds in my clover plots.
Enjoy creation,
Grant
