Commercial Weed Killer for Floratam Lawn

I have been having a problem in finding a liquid weed killer that can kill weeds in a Floratam lawn. It seems that most of the liquid concentrates display a warning that the product is not to be used on Floratam lawns. I have tried some granular products but they don’t seem to work that well.

Would appreciate some help.

Thanks

Atrazine for broadleaf and Basagram for Nusthedges are all I use, I never use any herbicide when temps are above 85-90 degrees. Some folks like Image but I think its worthless – too many restricions – cant use it when its hot cant use in when the SA is dormant.

But you are correct 2,4D and others will make your Floratam lawn look like aliens landed.
