Quinclorac 1.5 L -(1/2 gal.) Compare to Drive XLR8- Kills Crabgrass

I have mostly used 2-4D and Mesotrione for weed control the last few years. Mesotrione just could not do much against the clover in my yard, it would die back, but even with repeat applications it would keep coming back. I did two applications of Quinclorac and the clover has not grown back all summer. No more bi-weekly spraying all summer. It even seems to stunt the patch of centipede grass I want to get rid of without using Glyphosate. I think with this, and 2-4D or Mesotrione spot spraying every week I can get rid of the centipede grass without having to start over with the section of the yard.

I've used other products that are professional grade. But this stuff delivers on crabgrass. You see results in about 4 days and the crabgrass just withers and dries out. I spot spray it because I'm not a fan of breathing in the mist with our tank sprayer. It's tedious but it works great. Don't forget to add a surficant. Like MSO. The mixing table is accurate I use the recommended mix for 2 gallon spot spraying. It worked perfect didn't kill anything around it other than crabgrass. Not real good on clover. But say goodbye to crabgrass. I'll use this annually rid my backyard of crabgrass. It doesn't matter how many tillers are showing it will kill it.

The Quinclorac works as intended. I spot treated my yard. Some of the crab grass and other weeds died within a few days of the original application. Some crab grass may require a second application. I am glad that I found out about this product. I can now address my crab grass issue on a larger scale.

Likes it is a liquid formulation of quinclorac and controls field bindweed. Used Drive DF for years but dislike it like to settle in the tank. No dislikes

I used this for the first time 3 years ago. I have a 1.5 acre fescue lawn in Kansas and used to have tens of thousands of dandelions each spring. My initial use was in August of 2022. In the spring of 2023 I probably had less than one hundred dandelions in the entire yard. This spring I maybe had twenty. I had the mid/late July crabgrass explosion this year and just used this product less than two weeks ago. I went out tonight to spot spray the crabgrass that survived. I could hardly find any. This stuff is amazing! I do a lot of things for my lawn each year...pre-emergent, broadleaf weed killer, grub killer, fertilize, dethatch, aerate, overseed, etc. Using quinclorac is the absolute #1 difference maker. There seems to be few products that are worth their money nowadays, but his is definitely one of them.

I was suspect whether this would really kill crabgrass post-emergence. But I was pleasantly surprised, it really worked. And it doesn't kill the normal grass around it. A surfactant is a must or it will wash off the crabgrass with the first rain or heavy dew. Apply it after the grass dries, or the rain/dew will dilute it. I applied 1 oz per gallon, and you can see the results in 2 to 3 days. I have applied it early on with a pump sprayer, then when crabgrass started coming in heavy all over my 2 acres I applied it with a pull-behind boom sprayer. The pump sprayer is more effective with a shot right on the weed, but for large areas that can take hours to apply. The pull-behind boom sprayer worked nearly as well, but it will use a lot more chemical. I plan to spot treat again this week as the few remaining plants are maturing. We'll see if a fully grown plant will still succumb to this stuff.

Followed directions to a tee with measurements and surfactant. Spraying it had a minor effect on crabgrass, also damaged my good grass (ryegrass, fescue, bluegrass blend). No effect on other weeds, and within a few days the crabgrass was good as new and the lawn was still struggling. After a second spraying about 2 weeks later, I still have big vigorous crabgrass and the lawn grass is just about dead. Wish I would have tried something else or nothing at all. Missed my return window. This stuff is toxic and long lasting in the ground too- what a waste.

Is it Johnson grass? Crabgrass? This will bring it under control. A little bit goes a long way. Used hand in hand with MSO, this has proven to be highly effective on my yard.
