I have purchased Lesco turf and shrub/palm fertilizer from John Deere Landscaping for the last 2 years. They generally suggest 15-0-15 for zoysia. Too much nitrogen increases the risk for fungus development, and more potash will improve root development. They have been very helpful, and their prices beat the big boxes,
