What are the correct proportions for mixing each of these together in 1 gallon of water in a sprayer:

Ferti-Lome Weed Free Zone
Hi-Yield Atrazine
Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker

The amounts seem to vary widely depending on the source. What are the correct amounts to kill the weeds but not the centipede grass?

From Cleggs Nursery (they give away handouts of this at their stores next to where all the herbicides are sold)

Winter Weed Cocktail

1 ounce of Fertilome Weed-Free-Zone
8.6 ounces of Hi-Yield Atrazine
2 teaspoons of Hi-Yield Spread-Sticker (surfactant)

Mix ingredients in 1 or 2 gallons of water and apply uniformity over 1,000 sq ft of lawn.

This is what I use on centipede, St Augustine, and common Bermudagrass, and I will generally use it now until air temperatures hit the mid-80s, at which point I switch to MSM Turf (metsulfuron methyl) or Celsius, as they have no temperature restriction.

Why I have 3 types of grasses in my lawn is a story in itself. Anyway, centipede is in front yard and side yards, and a St Augustine/Common Bermudagrass is in the backyard. Working to have the St. Augustine naturally overtake/crowd out the common Bermudagrass.
