Removing Bermuda Grass from Zoysia Lawns

Fusilade II (fluazifop) is labeled for bermudagrass control in zoysia. Apply with a non-ionic surfactant around June 1, repeating every 28–30 days. UGA research showed two years of treatment (two applications per year at higher rates) reduced bermuda from 35% to 7% and increased zoysia cover from 65% to 85%. Ornamec (also fluazifop) works too. Note: Bayer Bermudagrass Control (fenoxaprop) cannot be used on zoysia.
