Does anyone have a recommendation on how to kill it? I'm a little nervous with it being so hot that my zoysia won't handle the treatment.

Celsius WG Herbicide + a non-ionic surfactant is an option.

Doveweed is very tough to kill. Repeated apps of Celsius may do it but I'd be shocked if you didn't knock back the zoysia in the process.

I find hand-pulling doveweed to be pretty effective. It tends to pop out in a clump vs. tearing into smaller pieces. How much doveweed you have obviously impacts the viability of that approach.

I've been doing this but unfortunately, it's showing up in our side yard that is next to my neighbors yard. It's slowly moving from his yard to mine, which means my mower will spread it to the rest of my yard. It's a pain.
