We have the EMPIRE ZOYZIA. Someone mentioned 24D. Like so many others, we've had our gardener of the people used by our neighbor pick up pieces of St Augustine and introduced it into our lawn. The St Augustine is less able to take 24D but to kill the St Augustine in my Zoyzia lawn I need to do everthing in the instructions wrong. Allpy it on a hot day and mix it at double strength.

I DO NOT USE ANY OF THE WEED AND FEED PRODUCTS.
I use liquid weed killers and spot treat weeds with a simple windex reused bottle. Any granular WEED AND FEED typ product. The weed killer needs to stick on the plant leaves, the fertilizer needs to get to the soil. The insturctions oon fertilizer say to water it in to keep it from buring the leaves. A weed killer-it says to apply on a dew wet lawn so that it sticks to the leaves.

Also, all the WEED and FEED products that I've seen are far higher in Nitrogen then is recommended for my empire zoyzia and I think that is true for the posted St Augustine as well

A great way to apply stuff like liquid weed killers with out killing you bushes etc. Use a paint roller.
