Roundup (Glyphosate) is usually more effective on grasses than on most
dicots. Don't know about the tolerance of _Zoysia_, but I wouldn't be
surprised if you kill more of it than the weed. I'd suggest you find
a more specific product -- here in the Oz tropics I would probably use
a "Bindii & Clover killer" to control weeds in a lawn.

Have a squiz at the "lawn" recommendations (especially Table 1) at
<http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/business/7330.html>
You may be able to find something there that would be useful. (If you
work from the "Active constituent" in the table, you should be able to
find a similar product where you are.)

Cheers, Phred.
