Using any of the newer dish soaps as surfactants can do more damage than good (thier ingredints can bind or destroy herbicides active ingredients, and they don't contain the alcohol to break dow the waxy cuticle on plants). Unless you are using an oil based herbicide (Triclopyr 4, ester 2,4-D) that contains an emulsifier, diesel is not a good surfactant either, water and oil dont mix without an emulsifier. Use methylated seed oil or a good commercial surfactant (they are cheaper than dish soap, 10 bucks a gallon, use 1 pint per 100 gallons water) and I would use Triclopyr (Remedy or the generic at 1/2 price) at 1 qt per 100 gallons water with surfactant, spray to wet, won't hurt grass. If seeds are still forming they will be killed, hardened off mature seeds may be killed if the oil penetrates the seeds.
