Application Information Mowing Information In New York, Drive® XLR8 herbicide can only be applied as a spot application. Apply Drive XLR8 to actively growing weeds as post - emergence broadcast or spot sprays using the turfgrass species, rate, and growth stages indicated in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3. DO NOT exceed the labeled application rate or fail to comply with use restrictions listed in Restrictions and Limitations. For best results, weeds should not be under stress from lack of water, excessive water, low fertility, mowing shock, excessive hot or cold temperatures, or injury from other herbicide applications. To achieve consistent weed control, use methylated seed oil (MSO). Refer to Table 2 and Table 3 for rates. Adding adjuvants may cause slight leaf burn, but new growth is normal, and turfgrass vigor is not reduced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high. Additional stress from low mow- ing heights may also increase the possibility of turfgrass injury. Chelated iron or sprayable soluble nitrogen fertilizer will reduce a slight yellowing that may occur on some turf - grass species. Not all chelated iron or sprayable nitrogen fertilizers are compatible with Drive XLR8. Always perform a compatibility test to ensure proper mixing. See Compat- ibility Test For Mix Components section of label for directions. Broadcast Applications Apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in suffi- cient water per acre to provide uniform spray distribution (at least 20 gallons of water per acre or at least 0.5 gallon per 1000 square feet). Use low-pressure sprayers at 20 to 40 psi. Maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh (100 mesh is finer than 50 mesh). Check sprayer routinely to determine proper calibration. Flat fan, flood, or cone nozzles may be used. Arrange nozzles for uniform coverage for turfgrass and weeds to be controlled. Adjust boom height, nozzle selection, and pres- sure to provide uniform coverage and minimize spray drift. Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above those labeled for use. Avoid application when winds may cause drift. Spot Applications Postemergence spot applications may be made to sus- ceptible weeds in turfgrass that is tolerant to Drive XLR8 (see Table 1 and Table 2). Apply 1.45 fluid ounces of Drive XLR8 per 1000 square feet (0.75 lb ae/A) of treated area. Spray coverage should be uniform and complete. See Table 5 for spot spray mix instructions. Spot Treatment in New York: Spray individual weeds only. Adjust the sprayer to coarse spray to minimize wind drift. Apply to the center of the weed and spray to lightly cover. DO NOT mow 2 days before or after applying Drive XLR8 to maximize weed control and minimize potential turfgrass injury. Clippings from the first three mowings after application should be left on the treated area. Irrigation and Rainfall If soil moisture is not sufficient prior to Drive XLR8 appli- cation, irrigation may improve weed control. For best results, DO NOT water or irrigate for 24 hours after appli- cation. If rainfall does not occur in 2 to 7 days after application, irrigation of at least 1/2 inch is desirable. Extended Grass Control To extend grass control, Drive XLR8 can be tank mixed with Pendulum® 3.3 EC herbicide or Pendulum® AquaCapT"" herbicide to provide residual control of annual grasses. Consult the respective tank mix labels for additional weeds controlled. Seeding/Overseeding/Sprigging The use of Drive XLR8 before or after seeding or over - seeding a turfgrass area will not significantly interfere with the turfgrass seed germination and growth of those grass types identified as tolerant or moderately tolerant in Table 1. See Table 4 for seeding, overseeding, or sprig- ging application timing. Adjuvants Additives in Spray Mix to Achieve Control Methylated seed oil is the preferred adjuvant for postemer- gence applications. However, if an MSO is not available in your region, the use of a crop oil concentrate (COC) or other high quality surfactant must be used in the spray tank at the time of application. Refer to actual product label for use rates and use directions. Additives should not be used when tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrate (EC) products or turfgrass phytotoxicity may occur. Methylated seed oil or crop oil concentrate used as the adjuvant with Drive XLR8 must meet all the following criteria: • Nonphytotoxic • Contain only EPA -exempt ingredients • Provide good mixing quality in the jar test • Successful in local experience The exact composition of suitable products will vary; how- ever, any methylated seed oil or crop oil concentrate used should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such as a drift control agent) is to be used with this product, the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant is recommended. Consult your local BASF representative or distributor for instructions for your area. 5
