    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer harm mazus ground cover?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is designed to treat crabgrass and other listed weeds, primarily in approved turf areas. The product label does not list mazus ground cover as a tolerant species of plant. However, since this product does kill a variety of broadleaf weeds, it may injure your groundcover. You may want to contact a master gardener in your area through your Cooperative Extension Service if you are having trouble finding an herbicide that will meet your needs.

    Q
    I just planted Eco Lawn. The lawn is 4 weeks old. Can I use Drive XLR8 on the lawn now to kill weeds?
    A

    How soon you can apply Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer after seeding depends on the lawn species you planted.  It appears Eco Lawn is a blend of fine fescues and the Drive XLR8 label states to not apply within 4 weeks after seedling emergence of this type of grass.  You should wait until the grass is well established and has been mowed at least twice before applying Drive XLR8.

    Q
    What product should Drive XLR8 be rotated with so as not to build crabgrass resistance? Can this be mixed with Triad?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer can be tank mixed with broadleaf weed killers such as Triad for more complete control.  Be sure to follow the instructions on each product label.  Drive does have a low probability of resistance buildup, and it would take multiple repeated applications over a long period of time for this to happen.  That being said, eitjher Dismiss or Blindside would be good alternatives depending on your lawn type.

  • Asked by Hanna from Los Angeles, Ca

    Q
    Which product is recommended to kill crab grass, dandelion, and other weeds in ice plant ground cover?
    A

    You can use a grass killer such as Fusilade to kill grassy weeds around the ice plant groundcover:

    This product will be best used around established ornamentals and ground covers (do not use in desirable turfgrass).

    For broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, there are not any selective herbicides to kill the weeds but not potentially harm the ground cover, so we recommend spot treating carefully using a non-selective product like GlyPhoSel Pro

    You can also use pre-emergent herbicide going forward in spring and/or fall to prevent weed growth. Snapshot is our most popular choice for use around ornamentals and groundcovers.
