    Q
    What is the dilution rate in ounces per gallon sprayed for Drive XLR8?
    I use a hose end sprayer so I need the ounces per gallon setting.
    A
    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.

    Q
    Alternative recommendation for Drive XLR8?
    I live in NY and see that Drive XLR8 can't be shipped to NY, do you have an alternative recommendation for post emergent crabgrass killer? I have a typical NE lawn (Kentucky bluegrass and tall rescue). Many thanks!
    A
    You could use the product called QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer. It is actually the same product as the Drive just made by a different manufaturer who happened to have registered their product with your state. You can see the full instructions of how to use it on the Product Label. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Ron from Ormond Beach, Fl

    Q
    Drive to Kill St. Augintine and Torpedo Grass
    I plan on replacing St. Augustine with Zoysia in the spring. Would it be more efficient to use Drive XLR now to kill everything instead of using RoundUp Pro Max?
    A
    You may fair better with using the Roundup or any other Glyphosate product like it if you plan to take it to bare ground to reseed anyways. If there are more weeds and weedy grasses like crabgrass than actual lawn that would ensure you got all of the problem plants. Whereas using the Drive will eliminate many problem weeds/grasses however may not eliminate all of the ones in your lawn if they aren't all on the product label.

    I put down a weed and feed back in March, but weeds are still there but slowly dying.
    Would it be smart to re-apply the weed and feed or simply go with a fertilizer?
