  • Asked by Jeff from Mantega, Ca
    10/03/2017
    Q
    Why did Drive XLR8 work on my crabgrass, but not the clover?
    I use the product with MSO as directed. My lawn is small so I only used 1 oz. for 700sq. ft. instead of the 1.45oz for 1000 sq. ft.
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer should be effective on white, hop, and red clovers at the labeled rate. If the clover is a different variety, or if it one of this varieties but the plants are no longer actively growing, then you will see limited results. You may need a second application or to wait until the weeds are growing again to get good results from the herbicide. We recommend waiting at least 10-14 days to see results from post-emergent herbicides. If you are still not seeing desirable results, then I would consider a more true broadleaf herbicide such as Fertilome Weed Free Zone.

    Q
    Do you sell Drive XLR in smaller quantities than half gallon?

    The manufacturer does not offer Drive XLR8 in smaller bottles. We do carry a couple of other products that also contain the active ingredient Quinclorac but they do have added active ingredients as well. You can see them by searing the active ingredient on Quinclorac our website.

  • Asked by Galen from Topeka, Ks
    07/20/2017
    Q
    How much Drive XLR8 do I use, and how soon can I overseed with KY Bluegrass?
    Mixing instructions call for 64 oz/acre of Drive & 1.5 Pints of surfactant. If I'm using a 60 gallon Femco sprayer, how much water do I add to this mixture? Also...... what time frame should I use for treating crabgrass before overseeding K31 Fescue?
    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.

    For seeding, you can use Drive either prior to seeding with Ky Bluegrass or 28 days after emergence of the new grass seed.
