    Q
    What can I use on my turf grass (fescue, blue) and clover lawn to eliminate crab grass?
    Crab grass is taking over my fescue and blue grass and mostly white clover lawn. How can I control the crab grass and leave the rest
    A
    Drive XLR8 would be a great post emergent product to use for crabgrass and clover and many other weeds.

    Q
    Is there risk to trees when using Drive XLR8? Can I use a backpack sprayer? Are rates the same for various weeds?
    Since the critical quantity is the amount of Drive applied per square foot, not the dilution of the spray, is it absorbed through the roots? Since I am upon a forest preserve and have many trees and shrubs(ornamental and shade) in my yard, is there a real risk to these desirable plants? I am suffering with islands of clover, creeping charlie, and crabgrass as well as dandelions, is the rate of application the same? If I use a backpack sprayer I use for mosquito control, can I adequately clean it of XLR8 to use on foliage with mosquito spray or should I use a dedicated sprayer?
    A

    Only when Drive XLR8 is being applied to established creeping bentgrass is the rate different than for other turfgrasses as listed on the product label.  Otherwise the rate is 1.45 fl oz/1000 sqft.  The product is absorbed by foliage and roots and is translocated throughout the plant.  It should not harm mature trees or desirable plants when used as directed.  Generally if you can it is best to use separate sprayers for herbicides and insecticides but if you use the same be sure to triple rinse the sprayer thoroughly have each application of such.
