GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE will provide post-emergence control of summer grass and clover in turf. Quinclorac is rapidly absorbed through the foliage and translocated throughout the plant. Death of sensitive weeds usually occurs between 1 and 2 weeks after treatment. Kikuyu can be suppressed by applying two post-emergence treatments. Best results will be achieved if kikuyu is treated in Autumn.

RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP I HERBICIDE
DRIVE Herbicide is a member of the Carboxylic acid group of herbicides and has the Disruptors of Plant Cell Growth mode of action. For weed resistance management this product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to DRIVE and other disruptors of plant cell growth herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by DRIVE or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of DRIVE to control resistant weeds.

MIXING
To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly, then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences. The addition of a crop oil adjuvant may improve weed control in unfavourable weather conditions.

APPLICATION
Apply DRIVE to actively growing weeds at the growth stage indicated in the Directions for Use table. For boom spray application, apply at 400 L of water per ha. Avoid overlaps during application. For spot spray application, apply to point of run off. Do NOT apply through any type of irrigation system. Separate applications should be made if all target weeds are not at the correct growth stage for treatment at the same time. It is recommended not to mow 2 days before or after applying DRIVE to maximize weed control and minimize turf injury. Refer to the Restraints listed above the Directions for Use table for further application advice.

COMPATIBILITY
The product is compatible with DSMA, Primo 250 EC and Primo Maxx.
