Q

Can I put the 63 oz Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in a 25 gallon sprayer and distribute over 1 acre without refilling?
I have a 25 gallon tow behind sprayer that can adjust to distribute the 25 gallons on 1 acre or 43,500 square feet. The instructions for Drive indicate 1.45 oz per 1000 sf which would be 63 oz for the full acre in 43.5 gallons of water. If I put the full 63 oz in the 25 gallon sprayer, it would be the equivalent of 2.5 oz of Drive per gallon.

A

Yes, you can use 63 oz of Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in 20 gallons of water to cover 1 acre and not need to refil your tank. That is how the product label states to use.

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

How long does it take to see results using Drive XLR8 along with surfactant to treat crabgrass?
Treating an area of 500 sq ft. Applied 1 gallon of mixed solution of 2 fl oz of Drive XLR8 with 1 fl oz of surfactant and used the entire gallon of mixture over the 500 sq ft area. It's been 4 days and only seeing some of the good grass turning brown and no effects on the crabgrass. How long should I wait to see results. Watered the grass yesterday, 3 days after the application.

A

Drive XLR8 can take up to 3 weeks to see full results on targeted weeds and a second appliation may be needed for more established weeds. Keep in mind, for best results, applications should be applied to listed weeds when they are young and actively growing and temperatures are between 65-85 degre…

Drive XLR8 can take up to 3 weeks to see full results on targeted weeds and a second appliation may be needed for more established weeds. Keep in mind, for best results, applications should be applied to listed weeds when they are young and actively growing and temperatures are between 65-85 degrees. For actively growing crabgrass, Drive XLR8 is mixed at 1.45 fl oz per 1000 sq ft along with adding 0.16 - 0.48 fl. oz Duo Stick per gallon of water. If only treating 500 sq ft, you would cut those rates in half, mixing Drive XLR8 at 0.72 fl oz in one gallon of water along with the 0.16 to 0.48 fl oz of Duo Stick Surfactant.

It is important to follow the recommended rates per the product label and not overmix or overtreat to avoid burning or injury to your turfgrass. You may see some discoloration, burning or wilting of your turfgrass as the rate applied of 2 fl oz Drive + 1 fl oz Surfactant over 500 sq ft is double the labeled rate.
