    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer be mixed with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide?
    Can i mix Drive XLR8 with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for turf in my 20 gal tank?? Thank U
    A

    We would not recommend mixing Surge Broadleaf Herbicide and Drive XLR8 Herbicide in the same tank. Per the label of Surge Herbicide, this product should not be mixed with a surfactant because it will damage your turf grass. Drive XLR8 requires one.

    Q
    Does Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer kill japanese stilt grass and/or moss?
    Does Drive XLR8 kill japanese stilt grass and/or moss? I want to kill stiltgrass but not the moss,
    A

    Unfortunately, Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is not labeled to kill Japanese stiltgrass. We would recommend a product like Bonide Over the Top II Grass Killer instead. This would not damage the non-grass ornamental plants you have while taking care of the stiltgrass when use based on the product label.

  • Asked by Jeff from Mantega, Ca
    10/03/2017
    Q
    Why did Drive XLR8 work on my crabgrass, but not the clover?
    I use the product with MSO as directed. My lawn is small so I only used 1 oz. for 700sq. ft. instead of the 1.45oz for 1000 sq. ft.
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer should be effective on white, hop, and red clovers at the labeled rate. If the clover is a different variety, or if it one of this varieties but the plants are no longer actively growing, then you will see limited results. You may need a second application or to wait until the weeds are growing again to get good results from the herbicide. We recommend waiting at least 10-14 days to see results from post-emergent herbicides. If you are still not seeing desirable results, then I would consider a more true broadleaf herbicide such as Fertilome Weed Free Zone.

    A

    No, Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer can not be used around ornamentals, flowers, etc.  If treating actively growing grassy weeds, Fertilome Over The Top II Grass Killer can be used. The manufacturer recommends that you use caution during application because the spray can cause damage if it comes into direct contact with foliage.

  • Asked by Craig from Hutchinson, Ks
    05/06/2018
    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide be used on fine fescue turfgrass?
    Does this mean not to use unless in a blend of other fine fescues varieties/cultivars (, or a blend of other grass types (bluegrass, rye, etc)
    A

    Drive XLR8 should not be used on turf which is fine fescue only. So, if your grass is a fescue blend - meaning it may contain fine fescue but also contains tall fescue, for example - then it would be safe to use.

    Any idea on best way to remove dead crabgrass after treating with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer?

    Depending on the quantity and density of the dead grasses, you can remove dead plant material by hand pulling, hand digging with a spade, or by tilling if it is a very large area without desirable grasses. Be sure that the root system is completely dead of you are hand pulling treated areas.
