Keeping St Aug out of Centipede
Posted on 4/4/20 at 7:57 am

My back yard is 90% centipede but has patches of St Aug that are spreading like crazy. I’m mowing at 1.75 inches but the St Aug is still doing ok. Is there anything that kills it but doesn’t harm centipede?

I have the same. Appears the problem is that Centipede grows well in areas that get plenty of sun but areas that are more shaded the St. Aug takes over. Ive even sprayed roundup on those areas and re-sodded with centipede in an effort to combat it but eventually the St. Aug returns.

Try sethoxydim sold under brand names (Fertilome Over the Top 11, Bonide Weed Beater, Hi Yield Grass Killer, etc). Needs to be mixed with oil concentrate. Will likely require multiple applications and expect some temporary yellowing of the centipede following application.
Used widely to kill Bermudagrass in centipede, but St Augustine is not tolerant as well although this is not stated on the product label.

I’d rather have the st aug than the centipede

my backyard is about 80% centipede; It's nice and I'll enjoy it while it is there, but am accepting that the St. Aug will eventually win out. That's life in south LA.

I’m in the opposite track, trying to get the St. Aug to boot the Centipede.

Why do some people prefer centipede over St. Aug?
