    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 harm mature native grasses bluestem and indiangrass?
    How about seeding natives after application?
    A

    The Drive XLR8 Label does not specifically mention Big Bluestem grass or Indian grass on the label whether it be as a target pest or as a tolerant species to the product. From the links below from the USDA NRCS it states that those grasses are tolerant to most broadleaf herbicides and should not be harmed if product directions are followed and applied accurately. That being said, you can follow the link below to the USDA Service Center Locator to speak with your local conservationist in your region on what works bests in your area and what products they may recommend.

    Q
    what are the effects of Drive XLR8 on Blue Spruce Trees?
    I have tons of crab grass around some small blue spruce trees. Can I spray the area with Drive? Will it hurt my small trees?
    A

    Per the product label on Drive XLR8 you do not want to apply to exposed roots of trees or ornamentals or within the dripline of trees and other ornamentals species, This would cause potential damage to those trees.

    Q
    What steps should I take to be able to keep getting in new grass and killing clover and weeds?
    I seed right before fall and got alot of new grass after killing what was there. I have alot of spots thatneed more seeding. Question I have is clover what it looks to be is starting to take over. I need more fescue seed but want to kill clover to. I haven't used fertilizer and weed control yet. When to do pre emergent? What products do you recommended?
    A

    We do have a post-emergent product that can be used in your lawn for clover. Depending on the type of fescue you have, this product can be used at the time of seeding. Drive XLR8 Herbicide is a very good product that is labeled for clover, as well as various other types of broadleaf weeds. It is safe for use in fescue as well. If you are overseeding with fine fescue, it is recommended that you use Drive XLR8 at least 7 days before seeding or 28 days after emergence of the new seed. If you are overseeding with tall fescue, Drive XLR8 can be used at any time. We do recommend using an MSO surfactant with this product as well. Please check the label with regards to this.

    A pre-emergent can be used at the same time as a post emergent. Prodiamine 65 WDG is a very good option. It will prevent many broadleaf and grassy weeds from emerging. This should be done when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. In southern states, individuals should be using this product in late February or early to mid March depending on the soil temperature.

    We would also recommend checking out our Warm Season Lawn Schedule as well. This gives very good information on when to fertilize, use pre-emergents, etc. in your lawn.

  • Asked by Jennifer from Wichita, Ks

    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 be tank mixed with Resolute 65 WG?
    I live in south central Kansas and have 3 acres of 'Bowie' buffalo grass. It was planted 2 years ago. We are having problems with grassy weed(crab grass & foxtail), clover, bindweed, etc..... due to rain I haven't been able to get a pre emergent down yet and thanks for the super early warm temps I am seeing the many of the early spring weeds come out already. I would like put both down at the same time if possible. I have a 30 gal sprayer that I pull behind the mower. Any other suggestions for weed control would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer could be mixed with Resolute 65 WDG as long as you follow the instructions on both product labels.  However, if you are already seeing weeds it is too late for any pre-emergent to be effective.

    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer be used in flower beds with Liriope, Indian Hawthorn and Limelight Hydraganea?
    I would like to use this to kill clover and other weeds.
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer would not be a product that would fit your needs. Fusilade II would be a great option. It has clover on the “safe to apply over the top of” label and takes care of a variety of grassy weeds.

    Q
    Can I use Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer to kill torpedo grass on my junipers?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer should only be applied in listed established turf. Torpedo grass is an invasive grass species that is very difficult to get rid of.  However, we do sell a professional version of over the top called Fusilade II which is labeled for torpedo grass and is what we recommend.  It is meant for the same purpose and that is for killing grasses out of your landscaped beds.  Please read the product label to make sure it is labeled for use around the type of shrubs that you have.
