So my yard is about 75% centipede, and 25 % junk. 1.5 acres

Anything I can get to spray in it now?
Or when?and what product?

Usually weed and feed it on the Spring, but seeing what I can do in fall

TIA

The first 3 are low nitrogen fert with iron. The second two are herbicides.

Use one of the first 3 and 1 of the last two. You can use manor and celsius combined but it is a hot mix and shouldn't be done if you don't normally spray your own lawn. You'll need a backpack or handcan to spray it.

Is it worthwhile knowing what the "junk" is? In a centipede lawn junk may be Bermuda

In addition to ronk’s advice, make sure you are cutting centipede at the correct height - which is about 2 inches - to maintain a healthy lawn. A healthy lawn helps with weed suppression. Many tend to cut grass too short.

And if most of your junk weeds are annual weeds then using a pre-emergent herbicide in the fall (late Sept-mid-Oct) repeated in late winter, (early to mid-February) can be a game changer. I won’t get into the options now, but continue to follow the H&G board and they’ll be plenty posts on this pre-emergent herbicides in the next month or so.
