Yes, you could potentially mix Drive XLR8, Triad Select, and a surfactant to control both broadleaf and grassy weeds in your lawn. You may want to test a small area for turf tolerance if this is your first time making that application. You want to be especially careful if the Bermuda is in transition for Spring greenup since it will be more vulnerable during this time. Another option would be to use one product that has multiple active ingredients. Solitare contains quinclorac (Drive) and sulfentrazone (Dismiss) to target grassy weeds, broadleaf, and sedges.
No, Solitare Herbicide is not labeled for mugwort root.
Pasture Pro is a good product that is labeled for mugwort and can be used in your lawn and/or on pastures. Please check the label with regards to the type of turf you have and if the product can be used there.
There is not a specific time you must wait for the Solitare Herbicide to completely dry before applying most fertilizers. If you are using a granule fertilizer that needs to be watered in, then we recommend waiting at least 24 hours after using your herbicide so that you do not remove the Solitare application.
You may also be able to mix your fertilizer and herbicide together. Solitare Herbicide has been found to be compatible with most herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and growth regulators commonly used in turf and ornamental plant management. However, when preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitations of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied.
If you perform a compatibility test and have no issues, then you can mix a liquid fertilizer with it.
Solitare Herbicide should not be applied to trees or the drift from the spray.

You will need to use .367 - .735 oz Solitare Herbicide per 1,000 sq feet. The exact amount of water use will nto be important. As long as the amount of active ingredient is spread equally over that area the amount of water is not important. To calibrate your equipment, for example, a 1 gallon sprayer, mark off an area of 1,000 square feet, and cover that area at your normal pace as evenly as possible. If you used the entire gallon, you would use the recommended amount of product in 1 gallon of water. Herbicide labels can be very hard to read and never tell you an amount of water. This is because the amount of water doesn't really matter, or actually it would be different for everybody.
