Weed Control Between Zoysia Plugs: Paint-On Glyphosate

Weeds between new zoysia plugs must be removed by hand or spot-treated. If plugs are on a grid, use a foam brush to paint glyphosate (Roundup, Killzall) directly on weed leaves. This kills weeds without harming the surrounding zoysia.

Do not spray—drift will damage the grass. Paint carefully on a calm day.
