Spot Spray

Can anyone recommend a good general use spot spray/mix for mid-summer use in conjunction with fertilizer on Cent/St Aug?

I’m using an MSMA/Three-Way combo for Bermuda/Zoysia.

Atrazine is safe for St Aug and Centipede. It comes as solid mixed with fertilizer (weed and feed) or concentrate.

no 24-d on st. augustine!!!- it can be used (technically) during cooler winter months, but not now- as usual read your label

Thanks, guys. I don’t have any practical knowledge of Atrazine, just the label info, which seems to suggest it’s used mainly for pre-emergence on turfgrass and shouldn’t be used after April 15. I’ve heard of Atrazine being used as a spot spray, but I don’t know how to do that safely. Any suggestions?
