  • Asked by Blaine from Longview, Tx
    05/08/2018
    Q
    What is the difference between spot sraying and broadcast spraying? And isn't the mixture for both the same?
    A

    Spot spraying means that you are treating individual weeds directly, or in "spots," rather than applying a product to the entire lawn.  Broadcast spraying refers to applying a product to the entire area.  The mix rate for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer would be the same whether spot spraying or broadcast spraying.

  • Asked by Michael from Conway,sc
    06/01/2016
    Q
    What crabgrass killer is the best for centipede grass is Conway, SC in the 1st week of June?
    A

    As you probably know, Centipedegrass is a very sensitive species of turf so many products that eliminate the crabgrass and other weeds can also cause damage to your lawn. Hi Yield Atrazine is safe to be used on Centipede and it will suppress Crabgrass but may not completely eliminate it. It will also control a large variety of other broadleaf weeds. Tenacity is a great pre and post emergent herbicide that will control crabgrass along with many other types of weeds without harming your centipede lawn. Make sure to read the Tenacity label very carefully and mix exactly what is recommended as this is a strong product and mis-using it can cause temporary turf injury. When applying tenacity it is highly recommended to use a temporary turf colorant like Turf Mark Blue to allow you to see where you are spraying. Overlapping your application of Tenacity can cause temporary whitening of the lawn as well, but the color will return in 3-4 weeks at most. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Diana from Gerrardstown Wv
    05/25/2014
    Q
    Can I use Drive XLR8 with a hose end sprayer?
    I have a large lawn, abut 20.000 sq.ft., quite a lot of crabgrass and broadleaf. How much product do I need?
    A

    Drive XLR8 is not recommended to be used in a hose end sprayer. 

    The first thing you need to know when using an herbicide such as Drive XLR8 Herbicide is that the exact amount of water you dilute it with is not important. It is only important to make sure you are using the correct amount of product per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Use too much and you risk damaging your lawn, use too little and you will not get adequate results. You will need to use 1.45 oz per 1,000 sq ft . To decide how much water you want to use, you should mark a 1,000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix 1.45 oz of product with for each 1,000 sq ft area that needs to be treated. You will need to make sure treated areas are irrigated with at least 1/2 inch of water (either by rainfall or by sprinkler) following the application.

  • Asked by Howard from Atlanta, Ga
    06/24/2016
    Q
    Should the lawn be wet before or after applying Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer?
    I wet my lawn well but do not know about 1/2 inch of water. I sprayed immediately after with the grass still wet I am concerned. How long will it take to see some or any results ?
    A

    Since Drive XLR8 Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide, we want to make sure that we get good coverage of the target plants, and that the application has time to dry before rainfall or before the lawn is watered. Drive should not be watered-in upon application since we want it to stay on the surface of the target plants. Be sure you are using an appropriate surfactant when using Drive, such as Prime Source Duo Stick. You should allow 10-14 days to start seeing results from post-emergent herbicides.

    Q
    What is the best time of the year to apply Drive XLR8?
    Even with lawn company about 1 July crabgrass starts growing. Now mid August have very thick patches. It seems to be in same places every year. Charlotte nc.
    A

    When using Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer for crabgrass, it’s best to apply at either the very young stage or the most mature stage of the crabgrass.  When treating between the 2-4 tiller stage, repeat application may be required.  You should make your applications while temperatures are between 65 and 85 degrees for best results.  You can also use a pre-emergent like Dimension 2EW in the spring and the fall to help prevent it from coming up the following season.
