    Q
    Any idea on best way to remove dead crabgrass after treating with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer?
    Product seems to be working, now I have to remove dead crabgrass, looking for ideas/suggestions.
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Steve from Bucyrus, Kansas
    08/17/2021
    Q
    Can Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer be applied if temperatures will reach 90 degrees F for the high?
    A

    To avoid any turf damage, Drive XLR8 should be applied when temperatures are between 65-85 degrees.  It would be best to apply in the early morning or in the evening so that the product has sufficient time to dry before temperatures get above this range.

  • Asked by David from Lexington, Nc
    05/12/2017
    Q
    Can I put the 63 oz Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in a 25 gallon sprayer and distribute over 1 acre without refilling?
    I have a 25 gallon tow behind sprayer that can adjust to distribute the 25 gallons on 1 acre or 43,500 square feet. The instructions for Drive indicate 1.45 oz per 1000 sf which would be 63 oz for the full acre in 43.5 gallons of water. If I put the full 63 oz in the 25 gallon sprayer, it would be the equivalent of 2.5 oz of Drive per gallon.
    A

    Yes, you can use 63 oz of Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in 20 gallons of water to cover 1 acre and not need to refil your tank. That is how the product label states to use.

  • Asked by David from Oh
    09/04/2022
    Q
    What is the application rate for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer if using a 20 gallon sprayer to treat 1.5 acres?
    https://www.domyown.com/prime-source-duo-stick-p-12239.html
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is applied at 64 fl oz per acre in atleast 20 gallons of water per acre (1.45 fl oz in 0.5 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft) with a low pressure sprayer at 20 to 40 psi. A methlyated seed oil surfactant such as Duo Stick is needed for best results. 

    For treating 1.5 acres (65,340 sq ft), it will take a total of 96 fl oz of Drive XLR8 + 46.5 tbsps of a MSO Surfactant (1.5 tbsp per gallon of water) using no less than 31 gallons of water. 

    *Using 0.5 gallons water per 1000 sq ft is the minimum water volume recommended for adequate distribution of the herbicide. Water is only acting as the carrier therefore weather it takes 0.5 gallons or 1.5 gallons of water to cover 1000 sq ft does not matter, as long as you evenly and thoroughly cover the area.
