Emerald Zoysia weed problem

9 years ago

I live in Birmingham AL and we have had an extremely warm February. I haven't paid much attention to the yard until recently and noticed weeds have taken over most of my back yard. This sod was put in 2 years ago and I haven't used any treatments on it. Last spring and summer the grass was full and green with very few weeds. Now I have weeds everywhere. I need help getting this under control before it gets worse. Here are some pics.

Pictures 1, 3, and 4 should be controlled by spot spraying the weed with Weed-b-Gon or Weed-b-Gon Chickweed, Clover, and Oxalis Killer.

Picture 2 is poa annua. I'm not sure what the control is for that but others here can help you. It will die by itself in the summer heat, but not before dropping tens of thousands of seeds.

The control for poa annua is glyphosate(RoundUp).

Edit: NM the rest, title says Zoysia.

Once I spray it with weed b gon, what should I do next to start my regular treatment process? Is it too late to use a pre-emergent? When should I fertilize the yard?
