    Q
    Once applied how long will Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer last?
    Will this be as good as bear foot Ureabor
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is a post emergent herbicide only, this means it only kills only those list weeds listed on the product label that are directly sprayed and actively growing.  There will be no residual to continue killing or prevent anything new from growing.  We do not carr a product called bear foot Ureabor so cannot comment on it, we do apologize.

    Can I apply Drive XLR8 and Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide together?

    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 work on quack grass?
    A

    Drive XLR8 is not labeled to control quackgrass.  We do carry Certainty which is labeled for it.  Please be sure to read over the product label to confirm your lawn type is tolerable to the product.  If you lawn type is not listed as tolerable and if only a small area of the lawn is affected by the outbreak, spray only the affected area with RoundUp Quick Pro. If the problem amounts to no more than a few spears of quackgrass in an area of your lawn, paint the individual spears with diluted RoundUp QuickPro.

  • Asked by Galen from Topeka, Ks
    07/20/2017
    Q
    How much Drive XLR8 do I use, and how soon can I overseed with KY Bluegrass?
    Mixing instructions call for 64 oz/acre of Drive & 1.5 Pints of surfactant. If I'm using a 60 gallon Femco sprayer, how much water do I add to this mixture? Also...... what time frame should I use for treating crabgrass before overseeding K31 Fescue?
    A

    The first thing you need to know when using an herbicide such as Drive XLR8 Herbicide is that the exact amount of water you dilute it with is not important. It is only important to make sure you are using the correct amount of product per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Use too much and you risk damaging your lawn, use too little and you will not get adequate results. You will need to use 1.45 oz per 1,000 sq ft . To decide how much water you want to use, you should mark a 1,000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix 1.45 oz of product with for each 1,000 sq ft area that needs to be treated. You will need to make sure treated areas are irrigated with at least 1/2 inch of water (either by rainfall or by sprinkler) following the application.

    For seeding, you can use Drive either prior to seeding with Ky Bluegrass or 28 days after emergence of the new grass seed.

  • Asked by Bob from Pa
    08/26/2021
    Q
    If I spray Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in the morning before temperatures reach 80 degrees, will it still work?
    A

    Yes. 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.

    It is recommended to use a Methylated Seed Oil Surfactant with Drive XLR8 for best results.  Please view the product label for mix rates and more information.

  • Asked by Ron from Modesto, Ca
    07/27/2017
    Q
    Should I use Drive XLR8 or Turflon Esther for to treat oxalis?
    I use XLR8 for crabgrass, and Turflon Ester for bermuda grass (it knocks it back, but doesn't kill it). I have a lot of oxalis and spotted spurge infesting my lawns. (They are a fescue blend of sod.) I am in central California, Modesto area. I don't want to buy another product if I don't have to. Which one would work best for spotted spurge and oxalis? XLR8 or Turflon Ester? Thanks for your help!
    A

    Drive XLR8 is not labeled for either spurge or oxalis.  Turflon Ester will is labeled for oxalis but will not treat for spurge.  You may want to consider a product like Dismiss that will eradicate both types of weeds.
