  • Asked by Rj from Bartlett, Il
    04/17/2016
    Q
    Is there risk to trees when using Drive XLR8? Can I use a backpack sprayer? Are rates the same for various weeds?
    Since the critical quantity is the amount of Drive applied per square foot, not the dilution of the spray, is it absorbed through the roots? Since I am upon a forest preserve and have many trees and shrubs(ornamental and shade) in my yard, is there a real risk to these desirable plants? I am suffering with islands of clover, creeping charlie, and crabgrass as well as dandelions, is the rate of application the same? If I use a backpack sprayer I use for mosquito control, can I adequately clean it of XLR8 to use on foliage with mosquito spray or should I use a dedicated sprayer?
    A

    Only when Drive XLR8 is being applied to established creeping bentgrass is the rate different than for other turfgrasses as listed on the product label.  Otherwise the rate is 1.45 fl oz/1000 sqft.  The product is absorbed by foliage and roots and is translocated throughout the plant.  It should not harm mature trees or desirable plants when used as directed.  Generally if you can it is best to use separate sprayers for herbicides and insecticides but if you use the same be sure to triple rinse the sprayer thoroughly have each application of such.

    Q
    Why should clippings from the first three mowings after application of Drive XLR8 be left on the treated area?

    07/15/2013
    Q
    Alternative recommendation for Drive XLR8?
    I live in NY and see that Drive XLR8 can't be shipped to NY, do you have an alternative recommendation for post emergent crabgrass killer? I have a typical NE lawn (Kentucky bluegrass and tall rescue). Many thanks!
    A
    You could use the product called QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer. It is actually the same product as the Drive just made by a different manufaturer who happened to have registered their product with your state. You can see the full instructions of how to use it on the Product Label. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
