When Allen's Sod replaced some zoysia for me I asked about the torpedo grass in other areas of my lawn. He said most comes with the zoysia sod from south of here. I asked what I could do about it and he told me to just mow it. It's green. And almost impossible to eradicate. He didn't think it is transferred by mowers.

That said, I use Zoysia green for my lawn care and they have done a good job keeping it localized to a section which tends to stay wetter. Apparently torpedo grass likes a wetter environment.
