Crabgrass in newly sodded Zoysia
Several areas on my newly sodded (one month ago) zoysia lawn have serious
crabgrass infestations. It appears as if the sod farm missed a few areas with crabgrass preventer. I think it is too soon to spray the area with MSMA or another post-emergent herbicide. My thoughts are to apply the herbicide selectively using a sponge just to wipe it on the crabgrass which stands taller than the zoysia. This should minimize the amouth of herbicide that gets on the zoysia. Any better ideas? |

Hi Kyle;
To my understanding zoysia will not grow north of the Mackinac Bridge that seperates upper and lower Michigan. I have talked to experts and they informed me of than. I tried to grow it in Northern Michigan and it does not grow. |

I'd check out Acclaim. It's very effective on crabgrass and it's one
of the post-emergents that causes the least amount of injury to the turf. It should be no problem if used to spot treat zoysia sod that's been down a month. Certainly a lot easier using Acclaim with a sprayer than trying to use a sponge, which is hard for any serious area. |

Believe it or not, I spoke with the sod farm on Monday, and they are sending me a small quantity of Acclaim at no charge. I thought that was pretty good service... |
