Drive additives

[HBFOXJr]

My Drive label recommends crop oil or some kind of other oil as an additive rather than a surfactant.

Ha s anyone successfully used a surfactant or sticker/spreader with Drive?

Any other use tips?

I use crop oil. Lesco guys said alot of guys are useing their spreader/sticker w/ good results. I have had excellent results w/ crop oil.:) ;) :) ED

I've used methylated seed oil, very inexpensive and have had great results. The seed oil is usually available at most mills or farm supply locations.

I've been using a surfactant called LI700, also doubles as a wetting agent. Kind of expensive, but so is drive. I'm thinking of switching to a spreader/sticker.

Newer Drive labels have been amended to include Lesco spreader sticker as an approved surfactant.

Drive has done a poor job at controlling crabs for a 2-3 week period this summer.
BASF recognizes that Drive fails for a while during crabgrass "middle age". The cuticle gets too tough & waxy around the 2 tiller stage. They're working with collges now for help.

During the 2 tiller stage, MSO offers a 20% increase in efficacy. Still not great. Just better.

The rest of the time, both before & after, conventional spreader stickers will perform equally well.
