Yes. But clover is the issue. Is an all purpose feed the way to go is my question I guess?

I spot treat clover with atrazine herbicide. Works great

Thanks for a solution that works. Instead of just replying to tell me that you know clover is a weed.

I'd recommend a fertilizer without nitrogen for the clover. 0-20-20 or 0-25-25 should feed it really well and help it grow vigorously. Also, cutting it regularly can also help it stay healthy. That's if you want to feed and help the clover grow.

If you want to eliminate the clover, then definitely DO NOT fertilize unless you use a 100% nitrogen fertilizer like 32-0-0. That should burn it pretty good, but I'd have to check to see how it would impact your zoysia. I believe it would be fine, but you'd have to look it up.

Or if you wanted to use an herbicide for the clover, you could use the atrazine like the other poster mentioned.

I'm offering several solutions since I wasn't quite sure what you were asking.

Having your nitrogen levels etc and your grass healthy will be much easier then just trying herbicide. I think you're on the right track though.

ok but you straight up asked for fertilizer for clover in your title, which would suggest you want to beef up your clover population.

But yea just grab some 2-4D or atrazine to kill the clover. The fertilizer could be anything really but look for something with a higher first number like 20 or so.

Fertilizer helps get rid of clover. It thrived in low nitrogen.

You asked how to fertilize the weed. Maybe ask clearer questions.

There is a reason you have clover.

Might be you have clay soil that doesn’t allow the grass to soak up the nutrients you put down.

Might be you need to apply more nitrogen.

Could be some combination of those things, but understand that the clover is a red flag that something else is off.
