    I just bought a bottle of BASF Drive 75DF and on the bottle it recommends to use this product with methylated seed oil. I have not been able to locate this seed oil but have been advised to use Lesco's Hawkeye Nonionic Organosilicone Surfactant with Masking Fragrance. Would this product work or could you advise where I could locate and purchase an acceptable methylated seed oil (online or in NJ)? -Jacques V., NJ

    Everyone has questions. And BASF Professional Turf has answers.

    Dear Jacques: We are aware that not all turf suppliers sell methylated seed oil. While MSO seems to consistently give us excellent performance, a high quality surfactant like Hawkeye is acceptable. Most importantly, applications made with no surfactant (MSO or high quality nonionics) deliver poorest results. Thanks for your question.
