    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.

    Q
    Why should clippings from the first three mowings after application of Drive XLR8 be left on the treated area?
    I normally mulch and use a grass sweeper to pick up the clippings. Clippings go to the dump. What is the benefit/purpose of leaving the clippings on the yard?
    A

    The manufacturer recommends after testing that Drive XLR8 is still effective using the clippings.

  • Asked by Kristen from Denver, Co
    10/22/2022
    Q
    How often does Drive XLR8 Herbicide need to be applied for crabgrass control? Is it recommended to be used at the beginning and end of the season for example?
    A

    Drive XLR8 should be applied when crabgrass is actively growing and temperatures are between 65 and 85 degrees. For best results, a methylated seed oil surfactant ike Duo Stick should be tank mixed for better coverage and faster burndown of weeds. The product label states for consistent results, make Drive XLR8 application to newly germinated, to 1-tiller crabgrass, and when crabgrass has matured to 5 tillers or greater. Repeat application may be needed 21 days following the initial application.
