Drive XLR8

Drive® XLR8 Herbicide is an advanced, selective postemergent weed control solution engineered by BASF to help turf managers, lawn care professionals, and homeowners maintain pristine grass. Powered by the active ingredient Quinclorac (18.92%), this proprietary, water-based liquid formulation delivers exceptionally fast and reliable knockdown of some of the most frustrating grassy and broadleaf weeds in turf management.

Key Performance Benefits

• Unmatched Crabgrass Elimination: It targets and destroys crabgrass with high efficiency, even when the weed has matured into its tougher, later growth stages.

• Fast-Acting & Rainfast: Engineered for rapid plant uptake, this herbicide becomes completely rainfast in less than one hour, ensuring sudden weather shifts won’t wash away your hard work.

• Broad-Spectrum Power: Beyond crabgrass, it delivers targeted control over problematic weeds like torpedograss, kikuyugrass, foxtail, and signalgrass, alongside tough broadleaves like clover, dandelion, bindweed, and dollarweed.

• Residual Control: Provides up to 30 days of extended residual suppression to prevent newly emerging weeds from overtaking your treated areas.
