    Q
    Is Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer safe for Kentucky Bluegrass at the rate of 1.45 oz per gallon of water?
    I applied the product at 1.45 Oz per gallon of water on Kentucky Blue Grass but I see that the grass is all yellow. I didn't see it listed on the booklet, whence my question, I hope you can help me out.
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide can safely be used on your Kentucky Bluegrass if applied as directed per the product label. Be sure you are using sufficient volumes of water to evenly spray the 1.45 oz of Drive over 1000 sq ft.

    The product label does advise in the footnotes below Table 1 on page 8 that “Yellowing that occurs on these species can be reduced by the addition of chelated iron or sprayable soluble nitrogen fertilizer.”

    Q
    Can I mix 1 gallon of mixed solution of Drive XLR8 & Dyne-Amic Surfactant and then refill my 32 oz sprayer 4 times to treat heavy crabgrass in 1/2 of a 2k sq ft lawn?
    A

    In order to ensure you are using a sufficient volume of water, you will want to use a 1-2 gallon hand pump sprayer to apply the mixed solution of Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer (1.45 oz per 1000 sq ft) and the 2 teaspoons of DyneAmic Surfactant. 

    Water is acting as the carrier therefore you want to be sure you are using enough water to evenly and thoroughly cover 1000 sq ft.

    Q
    Is it safe to mix Drive XLR8, Triplet SF Selective Herbicide & Battleship 3 together?
    https://www.domyown.com/triplet-sf-selective-herbicide-p-21107.html
    A

    We would not recommend tank mixing Triplet or Battleship with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer.

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer requires the use of a methylated seed soil surfactant to effectively kill actively growing weeds. The Triplet Selective Herbicide and Battleship 3 do not recommend the use of a surfactant therefore tank mixing these 3 together could damage your turfgrass.

  • Asked by Hates
    08/10/2022
    Q
    Can this be mixed with Acclaim Extra for increased potency?
    So basically two questions, can it be mixed with Acclaim Extra and if so, would this be expected to provide additional potency or is it just a waste of money because it's redundant?
    A
    We do not recommend mixing Drive XLR8 with Acclaim Extra Herbicide since those products require the use of different surfactants. You can use a non-ionic surfactant with Acclaim Extra, but you should use a methylated seed oil (MSO) surfactant with Drive for best results. Using the MSO with Acclaim Extra may be too harsh and cause damage to your desirable turfgrass, so we recommend applying those products separately for best results.

    08/11/2022
    Q
    Can a broadleaf weed killer like TZone be tank mixed with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer to kill creeping charlie and other weeds?
    A

    As long as both products do not contain the same active ingredient, and both have labels that allow tank mixing in general then you should be able to. Per the Drive label: The most restrictive labeling applies with any tank mix.

    To increase spectrum of control of broadleaf and other weeds, Drive XLR8 may be tank mixed with 2,4-D, Triclopyr, and other broadleaf herbicides. Make sure to do a tank mix test first for any clumping or discoloring before applying to the lawn.

    Please note: Drive XLR8 requires the use of a methylated seed oil surfactant for best results. Since most broadleaf weeds killers do not require the use of a surfactant and the use of a surfactant can reduce selectivity on tolerant turfgrasses causing injury to the lawn.

    If tank mixing, we recommend doing a small test spot spray application to target weeds to test for any discoloration or injury before broadcasting over the entire lawn area.

    Q
    Popup Rain Shower After Application
    I applied today when there was no rain in the forecast for several days. Later in the day after application, a storm popped up. Do I need to reapply?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide should be applied where there is no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours. Depending on how long after applying and how much rain you received, you may need to reapply again.

    Q
    Can I re-apply Drive XLR8/DyneAmic
    14 days after the 1st application to spots I missed plus to spots I did not miss that don't seem to be responding? Or should I wait the full 3 weeks. After 3 weeks is a 2nd application recommended?
    A
    You could potentially reapply Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer at a 14-day interval as long as you are treating established turfgrass and the turf is not otherwise stressed. Typically, you will need at least 14 days to start seeing the full results of an application of this product. Be sure that you are using a methylated seed oil surfactant such as Duo Stick for best results.

    Q
    I use a garden hose chemical sprayer. What would be the appropriate setting on my canister?
    A

    When applying herbicides, including Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer, it is not recommended to use a hose-end sprayer. It is better to use a hand pump or backpack sprayer to ensure the most accurate application.

    Q
    Do you have anything to control torpedo grass in St Augustine?
    A
    We apologize, but we are not aware of a product that will treat torpedo grass and not harm St. Augustine turf.  You may want to consider spot treating with RoundUp and then reseed/resod the treated areas.

    Q
    Can I get a smaller amount of Drive XLR8? 64 oz is much more than I need.
    A
    Unfortunately, Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer only comes in a 64 oz bottle. We do carry QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer which comes in a smaller size and works similarly.

    08/30/2022
    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer be applied simultaneously with Speedzone?
    Drive XLR8 requires the use of a MSO as a surfactant while Speedzone has the surfactant
    A

    Speedzone EW Herbicide does not contain a surfactant in the formulation and is not recommended by the manufacturer. Since Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer does require the use of the MSO surfactant, two separate applications would need to be done.
