What’s this grass I don’t want (and how do I eradicate)
Zone 9b, it’s been cold lately, zoysia lawn
This clumpy grass has started growing in an area where generator heat killed the zoysia in the summer. What is it, what should I kill it with, and when (temperature wise) should I attack it?
Keep seed head down, wait until 80+ temps or pull.

Growth pattern suggests this is poa annua, best way to control is by using a strong pre-emergent regimen. This weed will be difficult and expensive to control once it’s growing, so it’s better to make your turf thicker and stronger during the growing season.

That’s Poa annua. Since you stated you have zoysia that means glyphosate is not an option.
Is everyone sure it’s not crabgrass? Growth pattern suggest crabgrass and I don’t see any seed heads to confirm Poa like this:

Poa.
Revolver herbicide. Pricey AF.
