Aha! A bit further looking into it finds that the active ingredient for both Fusilade II and Ornamec is the same chemical - fluazifop-P-butyl.

It's now less clear to me how necessary that "safener" aspect of the Recognition product is. Wondering if that's maybe more important when using it on St. Augustine than on zoysia. Also wondering why the zoysia was apparently only used here in some sections of TV and for a limited period of time. Seems St. Augustine is the current standard for new construction.
