Best Weed And Feed For Buffalo Grass: 10 Options Compared

#1 · Best Overall

1. LESCO Fertilizer Plus Herbicide

• Weight: 50 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: Slow-release nitrogen granules.

Why it ranks #1: Its professional-grade 18-2-3 granular formula includes 30% slow-release nitrogen; the supplied information does not verify buffalo-grass compatibility.

Thirty percent PolyPlus OPTI45 45 slow-release nitrogen distinguishes this LESCO fertilizer-herbicide blend, offering sustained nutrient release as it targets common broadleaf weeds. Its 18-2-3 NPK ratio pairs nitrogen with phosphorus and potassium, making it a professional-grade granule option for buyers prioritizing lawn feeding alongside weed control.

The 18-2-3 nutrient ratio supports grass growth and development throughout the season, while the slow-release nitrogen component is specified as 30% PolyPlus OPTI45 45. The dual-action formula also targets common broadleaf weeds, so buyers can combine feeding and weed control in one product. Granules can be applied with a broadcast or rotary spreader, according to the listed feature. The supplied facts do not identify buffalo grass compatibility or provide a coverage figure, so check the label and application directions.

Skip it if you need a stated lawn coverage area before choosing a granule product; Scotts Turf Builder Liquid Lawn Food Plus Weed Control lists 2,000 square feet.

This suits buyers seeking a professional-grade granular fertilizer and herbicide with slow-release nitrogen and spreader application. The supplied facts do not name buffalo grass or give coverage, so review the label for lawn fit and application rate.

#2 · Broad Weed Control

2. Andersons Professional Surge

• Weight: 40 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: Large-area broadleaf weed control.

Why it ranks #2: Claims control of over 250 weeds and covers up to 16,000 square feet, but excludes several turf types and does not name buffalo grass.

Coverage up to 16,000 square feet makes this 40-pound professional-grade granule product suited to buyers treating a large established lawn. Its four-way weed-and-feed formula controls over 250 common weeds and feeds turf, with small particles intended to provide more coverage per square inch.

The broad weed-control range includes dandelions, clover, chickweed, and plantain, while the fertilizer is described as feeding turf for thicker, greener lawns. Small particles are intended to spread coverage across more square inches, a practical feature across its stated 16,000-square-foot area. It can be used on established turf when broadleaf weeds are actively growing, including in cooler spring and fall temperatures. It is not for Floratam St. Augustine, dichondra, carpetgrass, or creeping bentgrass.

Skip it if you have Floratam St. Augustine, dichondra, carpetgrass, or creeping bentgrass; The Andersons Premium Weed and Feed lists other grass types instead.

This suits owners of large established lawns seeking broad weed control and granules usable in cooler spring or fall conditions. Buffalo grass is not specifically named in the supplied compatibility details, so verify the label before treating.

#3 · Deep Greening Formula

3. Andersons Premium Weed and Feed

• Weight: 18 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: Broad-weed-control granules.

Why it ranks #3: Combines 24-0-16 nutrition, iron, and control of over 250 weeds; its listed compatible grasses do not include buffalo grass.

Control of more than 250 broadleaf weeds gives this 24-0-16 granule formula a wide target range, including dandelions. Quick- and slow-release nitrogen supports both faster greening and extended feeding, while included iron contributes extra deep greening for the listed lawn grasses.

The combination of quick- and slow-release nitrogen connects an initial green-up with extended feeding, while iron is included for deeper greening. Its stated coverage is up to 5,000 square feet, and application uses a rotary or drop spreader on a dry lawn. The named grass types include bahia, bermuda, bluegrass, centipede, fescue, rye, St. Augustine, and zoysia, but not buffalo grass; the listing also excludes several states and two grass types.

Skip it if you require buffalo grass to appear in the compatibility list; Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed3 is another granule option, but also requires label review.

Choose this for a lawn matching one of its named grass types when broad weed control, extended feeding, and iron-supported greening are priorities. Buffalo-grass owners should verify suitability, and buyers should note the listed state restrictions.

#4 · Extended Feeding

4. Jonathan Green Green-Up Weed & Feed

• Weight: 4.54 g
• Form: Granule

Best for: Extended-feeding weed control.

Why it ranks #4: The 21-0-3 granules feed for up to three months and claim control of over 250 weeds, though buffalo-grass safety is unspecified.

Feeding for up to three months is the defining feature of Jonathan Green Green-Up Weed & Feed, helping reduce the need for repeated fertilizer applications during that interval. The 21-0-3 granules also control over 250 broadleaf weeds, including dandelions, chickweed, clover, wild onions, thistle, and poison ivy.

The gradual, consistent nutrient release connects the 21-0-3 analysis with feeding that lasts up to three months. Meanwhile, its weed control targets more than 250 broadleaf weeds, and supplied facts also describe pre- and post-emergent crabgrass control through the three-leaf stage. Apply with a rotary, drop, or handheld spreader when weeds are actively growing. It cannot be used at the same time as seeding a new lawn, and buffalo-grass compatibility is not specified in the supplied facts.

Skip it if you are applying weed control while seeding a new lawn; Scotts Turf Builder Liquid Lawn Food Plus Weed Control is listed for established lawn types, not new seeding.

This fits lawn owners seeking extended feeding alongside broadleaf weed control and who can apply with a spreader. Avoid using it at the same time as seeding, and check the label for buffalo-grass compatibility.

#5 · Liquid Application

5. Spectracide Weed & Feed 20-0-0

• Weight: 8.5 lb
• Form: Liquid

Best for: Liquid three-bottle lawn treatment.

Why it ranks #5: Liquid formula supplies 20% nitrogen and treats up to 7,500 square feet per bottle; avoid application above 85°F and verify grass compatibility.

A dual-action liquid pairs weed control with 20% nitrogen, so one application can target broadleaf weeds while feeding the lawn. The three-bottle pack includes one nozzle, and each 32-ounce bottle treats up to 7,500 square feet, giving buyers a clear way to plan coverage across multiple applications.

The formula targets dandelion, chickweed, knotweed, plantain, clover, mallow, purslane, and other broadleaf weeds, while 20% nitrogen supplies lawn feed in the same application. Treating up to 7,500 square feet per bottle helps estimate how much product a lawn needs; the three-pack adds two bottles beyond the included nozzle. Apply when weeds are actively growing, and avoid temperatures above 85°F, since the supplied instructions warn that grass damage may occur.

Skip it if you need a product whose listed grass types specifically include buffalo grass; Jonathan Green Veri-Green names several warm-season grasses, though not buffalo grass.

This suits a buyer seeking liquid weed control and feeding in one treatment, with multiple bottles for lawn coverage. Check the product label for buffalo-grass compatibility and follow its temperature and watering directions before applying.

#6

6. Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3

• Weight: 14.3 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: WeedGrip dandelion and clover control.

Why it ranks #6: Granular WeedGrip Technology targets listed weeds and feeds turf, but the supplied details do not specify buffalo grass as an approved turf type.

WeedGrip Technology is the defining feature of this Scotts granule formula, helping the product grip visible weeds and those not immediately seen. It offers enhanced dandelion and clover control versus the previous formula and feeds turf to thicken lawns and crowd out weeds.

The WeedGrip Technology is described as gripping weeds you see and those you do not, supporting its focus on weed control across a lawn. The formula targets dandelions and clover, with up to two times more powerful control than the previous formula, and feeds grass to thicken turf and crowd out weeds. Apply to a wet lawn when weeds are actively growing. The supplied facts do not name buffalo grass among compatible types, so check the label before use.

Skip it if you need buffalo grass explicitly confirmed as compatible; Scotts Turf Builder Liquid Lawn Food Plus Weed Control names several grass types, though not buffalo grass.

This suits buyers focused on dandelion and clover control who want weed-gripping granules plus lawn feeding. Apply to a wet lawn during active weed growth, and verify buffalo-grass suitability using the product label.

#7

7. Scotts Liquid Lawn Food Plus Weed Control

• Weight: 8.32 oz
• Form: Liquid

Best for: Fast hose-connected liquid application.

Why it ranks #7: The hose-connected liquid covers 2,000 square feet and lists several grass types, but buffalo grass is not among those specified.

A hose-connected applicator covers 2,000 square feet in 10 minutes, enabling a quick liquid lawn treatment without separate fertilizer and weed-control steps. The dual-action formula targets stubborn weeds such as dandelions and clover while feeding grass, and the reusable applicator works with separately sold refill bottles.

Connecting the applicator to a garden hose and spraying evenly is the listed workflow, making this an alternative to spreading granules. The stated 10-minute application covers 2,000 square feet, while the combined formula feeds grass and controls weeds such as dandelions and clover. Its supplied grass list includes bluegrass, ryegrass, bahiagrass, centipedegrass, zoysiagrass, and bermuda; buffalo grass is not named. The reusable applicator is intended for use with separately sold refill bottles.

Skip it if you need buffalo grass explicitly listed as compatible; Jonathan Green Veri-Green names several warm-season grasses, though buffalo grass is not among them.

This fits buyers who prefer hose-connected liquid application over spreading granules and want a combined feeding and weed-control treatment. The listed coverage is 2,000 square feet; check the label for buffalo-grass suitability.

#8

8. Jonathan Green Veri-Green Southern Weed and Feed

• Weight: 11.5 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: Southern warm-season lawn granules.

Why it ranks #8: Targets over 40 broadleaf weeds and names warm-season grasses, but its listed grass types omit buffalo grass and the coverage is 5,000 square feet.

A Southern-climate formula names St. Augustine, Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, and Centipede lawns, helping buyers compare its stated grass fit before treating. Its post-emergent granules control more than 40 broadleaf weeds, including dollarweed, dandelion, white clover, spotted spurge, and henbit, when weeds are actively growing.

The Southern formulation is specified for particular climates and soil conditions, and its listed warm-season grasses offer useful guidance for lawn owners in those regions. Its post-emergent weed control addresses over 40 broadleaf weeds, with spring or fall application directed at actively growing weeds. As a granule product, it is applied as lawn fertilizer and weed control rather than as a hose-connected liquid; buffalo grass is not among the grasses named in the supplied compatibility details.

Skip it if you need buffalo grass explicitly named for compatibility; The Andersons Premium Weed and Feed also omits it from its listed grasses.

This is a candidate for Southern lawn owners whose grass matches its listed warm-season types and who want granules for broadleaf weeds. Buffalo-grass owners should check the label for suitability before use.

#9

9. Scotts Turf Builder WinterGuard Fall Weed & Feed3

• Weight: 11.4 lb
• Form: Granule

Best for: Fall lawn preparation granules.

Why it ranks #9: A fall granular formula controls over 50 listed weeds, but the supplied facts neither confirm buffalo-grass compatibility nor establish an appropriate season for it.

Fall application links weed control and feeding with preparation for the following spring, making this Scotts granule formula a seasonal option. It controls over 50 listed weeds, including clover and dandelion, and the supplied description says its nutrients support root strength and recovery from summer damage.

The fall-focused timing is intended to help prepare grass for winter and a better lawn next spring. Its weed-control list includes clover, dandelion, plantain, morningglory, chicory, eveningprimrose, and purslane, while the fertilizer supplies nutrients described as supporting root growth and recovery from summer damage. Apply to a moist lawn when weeds are actively growing, and do not water for 24 hours afterward. Buffalo grass is not specified among the supplied compatibility facts.

Skip it if you need buffalo grass specifically identified for use; Jonathan Green Green-Up lists a broad selection of grasses, but its supplied details still do not name buffalo grass.

This fits buyers planning a fall treatment for an actively growing lawn and seeking weed control alongside winter preparation. Check the label for buffalo-grass compatibility, apply to a moist lawn, and observe the no-watering interval.

#10

10. Scotts Lawns Step 2 Weed/Feed

• Form: Granule

Best for: Five-thousand-square-foot weed control.

Why it ranks #10: Its label excludes several named grasses, including Bahia and Centipede, and provides no buffalo-grass approval; this makes it the weakest fit.

A stated 5,000-square-foot coverage area gives Scotts Step 2 buyers a defined treatment scale, while the granules target weeds from the root. The product also aims to build thicker green turf, pairing broadleaf weed control with lawn strengthening in a single application for compatible grass types.

The granule formula kills dandelions and other broadleaf weeds, while its described root-up turf building aims to support thicker green growth. Coverage of 5,000 square feet helps buyers estimate whether one package matches the lawn area. Apply to a moistened lawn on a calm day so particles stick to weeds. The supplied directions exclude Dichondra, St. Augustine, creeping bentgrass, Bahia, and Centipede lawns; buffalo grass is not named in the provided compatibility details.

Skip it if you have a lawn of one of its excluded grass types; Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed3 lists over 50 weeds but supplies no grass compatibility list here.

This is for buyers treating up to 5,000 square feet who want granular broadleaf weed control and turf strengthening. Its stated exclusions matter, and buffalo-grass owners should check the label before applying.
