Herbicide newbie: I can’t figure out a POA

Zoysia grass
North Texas
Currently have celsius, drive XLR8, 2,4D, sedge hammer
weeds: tons of purple nutsedge, early crab grass, shit ton of Johnson grass, some broad leaf weeds, dove weed

in a perfect world I wanted to tank mix sedgehammer and drive xlr8 until I found out one requires a NIS and the other MSO. Really don’t want to spray twice for two different AI. I also found out drive xlr8 wont help my Johnson grass problem but celsius will. Was hoping to use the quinorlac before it got too hot and resort toCelsius for mid summer when the Texas heat is at its worst. I have some areas of the sod that didn’t take well so I want to spot spray about 2200 sq ft.

many advice from the pros ?

You’ve got quite the arsenal. I’m curious what a blanket spray of recognition leaves behind. Crabgrass for sure will be left but the sedge and broadleafs should go. Give it a go, I just checked label and only callout for new sprigs/sod is 4 weeks.

I applied the low rate of recognition at 0.03oz/1000sq ft and about the medium rate of fusilade 18oz/A. I’m starting to panic because the grass was taking off and over the last two days I noticed some areas that have some discoloration. Some of those areas are starting to thin out too which was previously thick as I can pick out the dead material.


I applied the recognition a week ago today, but since then have applied half lB of balanced NPK. I doubt it’s fert burn because I applied same rate 6 weeks prior. Thought it could be fungus but I’m within the 14 day interval window of my last fungicide application which was clearys 3336. I also am within the 28 day window of my last bifinthrin application and applied imidocloprid for preventative grubs back in April.


edit: we’ll this is embarrassing I meant to send this to @Boortz86 . I guess more the merrier if anyone else wants to chime in !
