  • Asked by Chris from Georgia

    Q
    I put down a weed and feed back in March, but weeds are still there but slowly dying.
    Would it be smart to re-apply the weed and feed or simply go with a fertilizer?
    A
    To reapply, all depends on what region you are located in and what you are treating for. If you still see weeds coming up, we may recommend using Drive XLR8 Please review the product label to see if this product will treat your specific weeds and not harm your lawn.

    Q
    Does Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer contain quinclorac?
    I was told to eliminate "creeping charley" To get product that contain this chemical.
    A
    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer contains Quinclorac 15.93%. Drive is not labeled to treat creeping charlie. Tenacity is labeled to control Ground Ivy "Creeping Charlie" as post emergent control. We highly recommend using a temporary turf colorant like Turf Mark Blue so that you can see where you spray with the Tenacity to avoid overlapping. Tenacity is a great product, but also a very strong product so too much overlapping or mixing the product too strong can cause temporary damage and whitening to your turf around the ground ivy. The color will come back in the lawn after 3-4 weeks but to avoid this potential problem it is best to use a colorant to make sure no overlap occurs. To get optimum results for post emergent control it is recommended you use a Non Ionic Surfactant in your mixture as well. Please make sure that you check the label to verify that it is safe for your type of turfgrass as you did not indicate the kind of lawn you will be applying the product to. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • Asked by Jay from Arnold, Maryland
    03/22/2015
    Q
    In Maryland, approximately when should I apply Drive XLR8 w/ DyneAmic?
    A
    We do not know the exact time of year you will start applying Drive XLR8 in Maryland. Weeds grow at different times in different regions and there is no way for us to know if the weeds have started growing in your area yet. According the Drive XLR8 product label you should start applying the product when the weeds are actively growing if you are using it as a broadcast spray. If you are using Drive XLR8 as a spot spray you should use tables 1, 2 and 3 on the product label and apply the product according to the turf species, rate and growth stages indicated in the tables. If you are not sure when the weeds start to actively grow in your region you can contact the master gardener at your local cooperative extension office for more information.

    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 take care of sandburs?
    I'm going back and forth between Drive XLR8 and Target 6. I have crabgrass, sandbur, and occasionally foxtail. I know Target 6 will take care of all 3 of these but Drive XLR8 is cheaper and so I'm wanting to make sure that it will take care of all 3 as well.
    A

    Drive XLR8 is not labeled to treat for Sandburs. The best method of treatment for Sandburs is with a pre-emergent before the Sandburs germinate. A good option for a pre-emergent would be Surflan AS Herbicide but please refer to the product label to be sure it's safe for the type of grass you have. You can check Ferti-Lome Weed Out with Crabgrass Killer, it is labeled for Goathead which is another name for Sandbur, please refer to the product label to be sure it's safe for the type of grass you have.

    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer harm mazus ground cover?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is designed to treat crabgrass and other listed weeds, primarily in approved turf areas. The product label does not list mazus ground cover as a tolerant species of plant. However, since this product does kill a variety of broadleaf weeds, it may injure your groundcover. You may want to contact a master gardener in your area through your Cooperative Extension Service if you are having trouble finding an herbicide that will meet your needs.

    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
    I just planted Eco Lawn. The lawn is 4 weeks old. Can I use Drive XLR8 on the lawn now to kill weeds?
    A

    How soon you can apply Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer after seeding depends on the lawn species you planted.  It appears Eco Lawn is a blend of fine fescues and the Drive XLR8 label states to not apply within 4 weeks after seedling emergence of this type of grass.  You should wait until the grass is well established and has been mowed at least twice before applying Drive XLR8.

    05/14/2018
    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer kill the crab grass without harming the Natal Plum? Is it safe in Tall Fescue?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer can be applied to established Tall Fescue lawns with a MSO for treating crabgrass.  It is labeled for lawn use only, not for use on any ornamentals. Biotypes of large and smooth crabgrass in California have shown varied response to Drive XLR8. If control failure occurs following a full or split application, DO NOT reapply Drive XLR8. Change to an herbicide with a different mode of action.
