Right now you want to apply atrazine for grassy winter weeds like poa. You will need 2-4D and dicamba for broadleafs. You don’t want to apply nitrogen to Bermuda, st aug, or centipede. Do not fert centipede until 75% green up. Ferting centipede too early will cause it to start growing roots in the thatch layer.

But if you apply atrazine near a tree it will eventually kill it. Apply other chemicals if your lawn has trees in it. The better solution is to let your grass grow to its max height and cut it. Keep it there. If an obnoxious weed pops up kill it with post emergent. You folks are doing too much. It’s not good to try for perfection in your yard. It will look great if you simply have grass that’s mowed at the right height regularly.
