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.
According to GreenCast

"It can also be used at reduced rates to safely remove bermudagrass from tall fescue and zoysiagrass."

Looks like that reduced rate is in the 10-20% range.
