Water less. I can't vouch for it, but I have heard that wetting the foliage and then sprinkling with baking soda works. There is a herbicide that works and isn't toxic to St. Augustine but it is toxic to everything else and quickly runs off. It is so bad that some Southern cities are now testing their water for Altrazine contamination.
My gut feeling is that pulling it by hand is the only safe solution. Sorry.
