So I accidentally poisoned my new lawn...

Page 1 of 1
Hey guys,
I've got 9month old dwarf kikuyu, on new topsoil, and had a mishap with some application of herbicide to try to get rid of creeping oxalis. Long story short, I accidentally applied it in a widespread fashion rather than spot applying it.
The pics show the herbicide in question, and the damage done. You can see how the lawn i didn't spray looks great.
The affected area is better than it was, it basically all died back. The current yellow/dead appearance is the result of some extreme heat here in SA which didn't affect the healthy lawn.
Have I killed off my microbes in the soil? Can I replenish those if I have?
I've just applied some sea sol, and have tried a very small topdress with some left over soil to minimal effect.

Any help appreciated!



It will come back nicely, don't worry. You can assist with some fertilizer, but keep watering.

the leaves that are now underground go yellow, the tips that poke through photosynthesise and have chlorophyll, same reason they grow rhubarb in the dark.
