I’m taking care of a baseball field. I’m having trouble with crabgrass. Any other herbicides besides Drive(Quinclorac)?I know it works but don’t want to spend the money for 2.5 acres. Or should I just let the crabgrass be this year and catch it with February app of Resolute?

A side piece of info for you-treating pre-emergent for crabgrass is a good option. Treatment is usually in Feb prior to the soil temp reaching 55 degrees. It's very effective.
I would have to do a search to see what to use for treatment if you're looking to treat now as I don't know off hand. Good luck to you.

No doubt. I put down Resolute but I didn’t do it until April so I know I was late on first app.

Probably this if you don’t want to spend the $ on a post-emergent for 2.5 acres.

And I’d consider opting for dithiopyr (“Dimension”) over Prodiamine (Resolute) because dithiopyr also has some post-emergent efficacy on young crabgrass (up to 3 leaf stage) if you are slightly delayed on your application.

But whether Prodiamine or Dithopyr you have to apply early, before soil temperatures are 55 F, germination temperature for crabgrass seeds, so early Feb in south LA.

Quinclorac 75 DF at 1 pound per acre plus 1% methylated seed oil (MSO) (1.28 ounces for each gallon of water in tank). Generic version of Drive more pocket friendly. Works MUCH better if you can apply ahead of a good rain.
