In Case of Emergency In case of large-scale spillage regarding this product, call: • CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300 • BASF Corporation 1-800-832-HELP (4357) In case of medical emergency regarding this product, call: • Your local doctor for immediate treatment • Your local poison control center (hospital) • BASF Corporation 1-800-832-HELP (4357) Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: • Dike and contain the spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid diking material to separate containers for disposal. • Remove contaminated clothing, and wash affected skin areas with soap and water. • Wash clothing before reuse. • Keep the spill out of all sewers and open bodies of water, Product Information Drive® XLR8 herbicide may be applied postemer- gence to residential and nonresidential turfgrass (refer to Table 1. Turfgrass Tolerance (Established)) for the control of many broadleaf and grass weeds on the fol- lowing sites: • Airports • Athletic fields • Cemeteries • Golf courses • Grounds or lawns around residential and commercial establishments • Houses of worship • Military and other institutions • Multifamily dwellings • Parks • Picnic grounds • Roadsides • Schools • Sod farms Mode of Action Drive XLR8 is an auxin agonist and is classified as a quinoline carboxylic acid. It is absorbed by foliage and roots and translocated throughout the plant. The control symptoms exhibited by broadleaf weeds include leaf and stem curl or twisting, and chlorosis. Susceptible grasses demonstrate stunting, chlorosis, and gradual reddening followed by necrosis and death. Refer to Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 for turfgrass tolerance and susceptible weed species. Herbicide Resistance Management Management Plan While weed resistance to Group 4 herbicides is infre- quent, populations of resistant biotypes are known to exist. Weeds resistant to Group 4 herbicides may be effectively managed using herbicide(s) from a different group. Resis- tance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement, and opti- mum seeding rate/row spacing. Consult your local BASF representative, state cooperative extension service, profes- sional consultants, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds. Chemical Control • Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi- cide program. • DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed control. • Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage specifications. • The use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recom- mended to reduce early season weed competition and allow for timely postemergence herbicide applications. • Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of action more than twice a season. • Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other herbicides possessing different sites of action that are also effective on the target weeds. Suspected Herbicide -Resistant Weeds may be Identified by these Indicators: • Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; • A spreading patch of non -controlled plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. Best Management Practices for Resistance Management/Scouting and Containment • Scout areas prior to application to identify the weed spe- cies present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. • Scout areas after herbicide application to identify areas where weed control was ineffective. • Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif- ferent site of action or use a mechanical control measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro- duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively. • Contact your Drive XLR8 supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report weed escapes. • To the extent possible DO NOT allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest and post -harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed seedbank. • Clean equipment before moving to a different area to avoid spread of resistant weeds.
