Zoysia encroachment in Bermuda

I’m working with both Zoysia and Bermuda at the one facility and the zoysia is establishing itself quite well amongst the Bermuda. Does anyone have any experience with removing Zoysia from Bermuda? We are currently handweeding the Zoysia out of the Bermuda grass. I was thinking of verti cutting the bermuda more regularly and hopefully weaken it a little and in turn giving the bermuda more chance to over take the zoysia. Interested in hearing anyone’s thoughts and ideas.
