This is such a failed product. How on earth can this happen? It clearly says you can apply on zoysia. I applied it twice in late march on wild onion(2 weeks apart) with a 1 gallon pump sprayer and not only did the wild onion didn’t die, it made dead patches on my zoysia. Btw my zoysia is 2 years old established. I also mixed surfactant in the msm and I also made sure to mix it with the proper rate. Will they recover?

It looks like you sprayed angry. When you spot spray, you have to walk the yard as if you are doing a blanket application and just squeeze the trigger when you see weeds. If you wave the wand over the weeds to wet them down you will 100% overapply. MSM is a fantastic product but has to be mixed and applied properly or you will kill your turf at best or kill your trees at worst. I never recommend it to anyone because of what has happened to you but it has been very effective against spurge and VBW in both my Empire Zoysia and my Bermuda with zero impact on my desired turf.
