Drive XLR8 Herbicide is the latest technology in providing unsurpassed post-emergent crabgrass control. A proprietary, water-based quinclorac formulation, Drive XLR8 improves the control of crabgrass, torpedograss, kikuyugrass, several broadleaves (clover, speedwell) and numerous other troublesome weeds that you have relied on Drive 75 DF to control. When compared to Drive 75 DF, the new formulation in Drive XLR8 Crabgrass Killer Herbicide provides faster, more effective weed control, delivers quicker uptake by the plant, and is rain fast quicker (in less than an hour).
With Drive XLR8, it is recommended to use a methylated seed oil to apply the product. Prime Source Duo Stick Select and Dyneamic surfactant are methylated seed oils and are recommended to apply with Drive XLR8.
Drive XLR8 herbicide replaces the older Drive 75 DF Herbicide.
For smaller jobs consider QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer which is available in pints and quarts and contains the same active ingredient quinclorac.
For use in California: Biotypes of large and smooth crabgrass in California have shown varied response to Drive XLR8. If control failure occurs following a full or split application, DO NOT reapply Drive XLR8. Change to a herbicide with a different mode of action.
