Drive XLR8 Mixing Calculator: Quinclorac Rate & Tank Math

Calculate Drive XLR8 herbicide from treated area using BASF's current 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft or 64 fl oz per acre rate basis. Add your calibrated carrier volume to see the resulting oz per gallon, total spray gallons and product per tank.

No universal “Drive XLR8 per gallon” rate: gallons of water are carrier volume. The herbicide amount is determined by treated area and the applicable label rate.

Choose the rate basis that matches the label/application record you are using, then add carrier volume if you need per-gallon or per-tank results.

Drive XLR8 rate: 1.45 oz per 1,000 sq ft vs 64 oz per acre

BASF's current product specification identifies Drive XLR8 as a water-based 18.92% quinclorac herbicide and lists two rate expressions: 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 ft² and 64 fl oz per acre.

One acre contains 43,560 sq ft, so 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft mathematically scales to about 63.16 fl oz/A. BASF separately publishes 64 fl oz/A. The calculator therefore lets you choose the published basis you are actually using instead of silently treating the two rounded numbers as exact equivalents.

How much Drive XLR8 per gallon?

Per-gallon concentration depends on sprayer calibration. If you use the 1.45 fl oz/1,000 sq ft rate:

Those mixtures deliver the same herbicide amount per 1,000 sq ft; only the amount of water carrying it changes. Enter your actual calibrated carrier rate above for the correct tank concentration.

Drive XLR8 and quinclorac

BASF lists quinclorac (18.92%) as the active ingredient and classifies Drive XLR8 as HRAC Group 4. BASF describes broadcast and spot use on multiple warm- and cool-season turf types and says it can be used on established turf or at seeding, subject to the current product label.

FAQ

How much Drive XLR8 do I use per gallon?

Drive XLR8 is labeled by treated area, not by a universal gallons-of-water ratio. BASF lists 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft and 64 fl oz per acre. If your calibrated sprayer uses 1 gallon per 1,000 sq ft, 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft works out to 1.45 fl oz per gallon; at 2 gallons per 1,000 sq ft it works out to 0.725 fl oz per gallon.

What is the Drive XLR8 rate per 1,000 sq ft?

BASF currently lists a Drive XLR8 use rate of 1.45 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft. The same product specification also lists 64 fl oz per acre. Those are label-listed rate bases and are slightly different when converted mathematically because the published numbers are rounded.

What is the active ingredient in Drive XLR8?

BASF identifies Drive XLR8 as a water-based herbicide containing 18.92% quinclorac, classified as HRAC Group 4.

Can Drive XLR8 be used at seeding?

BASF states that Drive XLR8 can be applied broadcast or spot to multiple turf types, established or at seeding. The current label still controls turf tolerance, timing and other restrictions for the exact site.

Does Drive XLR8 need a surfactant or MSO?

Adjuvant requirements can depend on the current label, target weed, application program and tank-mix partners. This calculator does not assume a universal MSO or surfactant rate. Use the adjuvant instructions on the current Drive XLR8 label or BASF program you are following.

What is the re-entry interval for Drive XLR8?

BASF's current product specification lists a 12-hour restricted-entry interval for Drive XLR8. Check the current label for the exact use site and worker-protection requirements.

Important note

This calculator performs arithmetic from BASF-listed rate expressions and your carrier calibration. The current Drive XLR8 label controls legal use sites, turf tolerance, target weeds, timing, adjuvants, PPE, re-entry and state restrictions.
