    Q
    Can't kill the mature crabgrass. Need Help!
    I used drive xlr8 own my yard and it kill most of the crabgrass, but still have a lot of mature crabgrass that I just can't kill. What do you suggest?
    A
    We apologize you are having difficulty eradicating the mature crabgrass with Drive XLR. Are you using a surfactant with your mixture? Are you using the highest application ratio you can for your turf? For the best crabgrass control, you want to apply a pre emergent in the spring. Please visit our pre emergent crabgrass control page.

  • Asked by Peter from Norwalk, Ct
    08/22/2019
    Q
    Would Drive XLR8 kill crabgrass seedheads while killing the crabgrass?
    I have full grown crabgrass with seed heads everywhere.
    A

    Drive XLR8 is a post-emergent herbicide only. So while it will kill existing plants, it does not prevent new seeds from germinating. We recommend using a pre-emergent such as Dimension 2EW in the spring before soil temps reach 55 degrees to prevent new crabgrass from growing next year.

    Q
    How many days before you see results after spraying Drive XLR8 Herbicide?
    A

    Drive XLR8 is a post-emergent herbicide that takes about 10-14 days to start seeing results on the target plants. Keep in mind that this is best used on listed weeds when they are young and actively growing, which will usually be in spring and fall.

    Q
    How long will take to notice results of Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer after application?
    I've recently applied a mixture of 5 ounces of Dive Xlr8 herbicide killer and 5 ounces of Dyneamic Methylated Seed Oil with 2.5 gallons of water to post-emerged crabgrass weeds, how long will the uptake process by the weed?
    A

    Normally we suggest giving the product 3 weeks to see results using Drive XLR8 or any selective herbicide. Depending on if you are spot treating or broadcasting the solution determines the mix rate.

    Spot Treatment: For a 2 gallon sparyer, Mix 6 tbsp + 3 tbsp of Adjuvent. Apply at the rate of 1 gallon per 1000 sq ft. (1 tablespoon = 0.5 fl oz (0.25 lb ae/A)

    Broadcast Application: 1.45 fl ozs per 1000 sq ft / Methylated seed oil at 0.55 fl oz per 1000 sq ft (0.75 lb ae/A)

  • 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.

  • Asked by Jack from Lakeland, Florida
    11/10/2012
    Q
    I have crabgrass that has covered most of my yard, I have St Augustine grass, what do you recommend to control
    or kill this weed, I was told to use Asulox. but your label says not use on St Augustine
    A

    Unfortunately their is not a selective product that will remove crabgrass from St. Augustine.  St. Augustine is a very fragile grass, and so most selective products that are labeled to remove crabgrass and not your real grass, will hurt the St. Augustine.  It is recommended to kill the crabgrass with a round up type product, like Ranger Pro, which will also kill just the St. Augustine around the crabgrass that it is sprayed on, and then a couple weeks later re-seed those areas with new St. Augustine. 

    For long term control though, you should apply a pre-emergent in the late fall and early spring which will prevent new crabgrass from coming up next year.  If you apply pre-emergent every year, you should not have issues with crabgrass long term.  Dimension 2EW is one of our most popular pre-emergents for crabgrass.
