    Q
    How long after I apply TopShot Weed Killer should I wait to overseed with carpetgrass?
    I am starting to see signs of bitter cress in my lawn and I plan to over seed with carpet grass this spring.
    A

    Since Martin's TopShot Weed Killer is not labeled as safe to use on carpetgrass, we would not recommend using it on this type of turf at all. A great product to use for post-emergent control of bittercress in carpetgrass would be Dismiss Herbicide. After applying Dismiss Herbicide, you would need to wait at least one month before overseeding. You can view full application directions on the product label here.

    Q
    Will Martin's TopShot Weed Killer kill Zeon Zoysia?
    I have lots of Wild Onion/Wild Garlic weeds in my newly laid zeon zoysia turf (last summer). Will this kill only the weeds? It says to spray it on the whole lawn so I'm concerned the grass will die.
    A

    Martin's TopShot Weed Killer  will not harm Zeon Zoysia as it is listed as a tolerant turf grass. As long as your lawn is now established and has been mowed at least 2 times, Martin's TopShot will not harm your Zeon Zoysia. Be sure to consult the product label prior to application.
