ALWAYS read the instructions on the product packaging before use and take particular note of any warnings or cautions on the label.
What are ST varieties^?
They include ST26, ST85 and ST91, among others with the same prefix. “Buffalo Grass” is the common name given to Stenotaphrum secundatum in Australia. In North America, it is known as St Augustine Grass.
Most ST varieties are owned by US based Hugh Whiting and H&T Whiting Turfgrass Development Group. They are not common in Australian gardens, where modern drought-tolerant, soft-leaved buffalo lawns are more popular.
ST varieties do not tolerate herbicides used to control broadleaf weeds, including this product. Lawn weeders will damage and may cause the death of ST varieties.
