How fast you drive when applying an herbicide like Drexel Imitator Plus will depend on the output of your sprayer and how much product you want to apply to the treatment area. So it would be better to pick your speed and do a calibration test with just water in your sprayer before adding your herbicide so that you can see how much water you use to cover the area you want to treat. Then you can add the correct amount of herbicide accordingly. Keep in mind that Drexel is a non-selective herbicide, so it will affect any plants you spray with it.
Per the Drexel Imitator Plus label: “Surfactants: Nonionic surfactants that are labeled “for use with herbicides” may be used. Do not reduce rates of this product when adding surfactant. When adding additional surfactant, follow manufacturer’s rates and recommendations for use of the surfactant, OR, use 0.5% surfactant concentration (2 qts. per 100 gals. of spray solution) when using surfactants that contain at least 70?tive ingredient or a 1% surfactant concentration (4 qts. per 100 gals. of spray solution) for those surfactants containing less than 70?tive ingredient. Read and carefully observe surfactant cautions.
Drexel Imitator Plus is not labeled for use on moss nor on a roof. We would suggest Bonide MossMax instead.
Drexel Imitator Plus does not list toadflax on the product label as controled but it is a glyphosate based product which is non selective and will kill pretty much anything sprayed. Depending on where you need to treat we do have other products such as 4-Speed which are specifically labeled for it.
Drexel Imitator Plus and other glyphosate-based products work best when plants are actively growing and ideally in a temperature range of 65 to 90 degrees. Even if your weed is still green, it's not growing actively enough in winter temperatures for the active ingredient to move from the leaves to the roots, opposed to applying it in the Spring and Summer months.
Drexel Imitator Plus is labeled to kill perennial and annual weeds, trees, and woody brush. You should avoid contact with desirable plant foliage and exposed roots.
As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat, and until the Drexel Imitator Plus has had time to completely dry or settle, it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity. Always be sure to follow the product label instructions. Dry times will vary so a safe window to keep pets out would usually be a few hours.
Once the area that was treated with Drexel Imitator Plus had dried completely, it is then safe to allow your pets back out onto the treated area. The amount of time the application will take to dry will vary depending on several factors, but should be dry within 4-8 hours after the treatment.
Drexel Imitator Plus is a non-selective herbicide that will kill anything it comes in contact with, similar to Roundup therefore precautions should be taken if applying around desirable turfgrass, ornamentals, trees, shrubs, etc.
Please review the Blackberry section on page 8 of the product label for application rates and recommended application methods and timing.
