Whats growing in Empire Zoysia sod?

User

So I had Empire Zoysia installed about 30 days ago in my front yard. Overall, it is beautiful and doing well. However, there was 1 pallet that was installed that was slightly lighter in color and I noticed it immediately when it was installed, but just figured it would change.

The leaf blades in pallet looks the same, however it also has been demonstrating slower growth than the rest of the lawn. I have also noticed, that some pieces of the sod from this pallet has something growing which appears to be another grass. Can you help me identify what it is?

My theory is maybe the sod was stunted from treatment from the sod farm in trying to kill whatever this is growing....maybe Bermuda?

This is a far off and close up of a piece of the sod that appears heavily infested with this other type of grass growing. You can see also the surrounding grass looks stunted in growth as well.


These 2 photos is comparison of another section of yard that is doing very well and looks consistent through out
