closed toe shoes with socks, chemical resistant gloves, and goggles. In areas
where ventilation is poor, a manufacturer may recommend you wear a mask or a

NUTSEDGE TREATMENT GUIDE


HOW TO GET RID OF NUTSEDGE

By DoMyOwn staff
  Print Article
Overview



Nutsedge, also known as nut grass, is a weed that can be difficult to control
because it has such an extensive root system. The root tubers, known as nutlets,
can remain active in soil for years unless they are removed or treated.

It is possible to control nutsedge in your lawn with the proper products and
timing. Read below to learn how.

Step 1


USE A POST-EMERGENT HERBICIDE WITH SURFACTANTS



Post-emergent herbicides are weed killers intended to be used after a weed has
bloomed (or after it has emerged, as the name implies). A post-emergent
herbicide labeled for nutsedge will target the nutsedge that grows in your lawn
during the summer.

1A

SELECT A POST-EMERGENT HERBICIDE

Choose a post-emergent herbicide labeled for the type of nutsedge you have. This
could be yellow nutsedge, purple nutsedge, or both. Some post-emergent
herbicides are only labeled for one type of nutsedge and not the other and some
are labeled for both. Check the product label to be certain.

Also, make sure the post-emergent herbicide you select is compatible with the
type of grass you have. Some post-emergents can be used on a wide variety of
grasses while others can only be used on a few specific types of grasses.
Consult the product label to ensure the product will be compatible with your
lawn.

Some post-emergent herbicides will only target the seed head of nutsedge and not
the nutlets and rhizomes (nutsedge roots). Dismiss will target the entire weed,
both above and below the soil.

Read the product label carefully to be sure the product will not damage your
grass or other plants in your yard.

1B

SELECT A SURFACTANT

Add a surfactant to your chosen post-emergent herbicide. Surfactants help
post-emergent herbicides stick to the waxy leaves of nutsedge, allowing the
active ingredients of the herbicide to better penetrate the weed.

Some post-emergent herbicides already include a surfactant. And some
post-emergents explicitly state on their label not to use a surfactant. Read the
label of your chosen post-emergent herbicide to see if a surfactant is needed.

TREAT YOUR LAWN

Nutsedge is a weed found in the summer that stands taller than your grass & a
perennial sedge that can be notoriously hard to get rid of. Nutsedge is a weed
that thrives in the sun, is taller than turf, and has an extensive root system.
If the root tubers, known as nutlets, remain in the soil, the weed will return
for years until they are removed or treated. If you have nutsedge in your lawn,
use a post-emergent herbicide labeled for nutsedge for treatment. Remember,
there are yellow nutsedge and purple nutsedge varieties, and a product may be
labeled for one and not the other. The post-emergent herbicide should also be
compatible with your grass type to avoid damaging healthy turf. While wearing
long sleeves and gloves, mix your post-emergent herbicide and water in a hand
pump or backpack sprayer according to the ratio recommended on the product
label. The label will also note if a surfactant is needed to increase the
effectiveness of the application.Spray the nutsedge weeds you see in your lawn
and retreat throughout the summer as needed. Allow at least 1 month after your
initial treatment to see the effect your herbicide has on the nutsedge. This
will allow the treatment to reach the tubers and rhizomes of the weed. Wait a
few days after your post-emergent application to mow your grass. And it’s that
easy with the expert help from DoMyOwn.com. Subscribe to our channel for more
DIY and product videos.

Combine your post-emergent herbicide and surfactant in a hand-pump sprayer,
using the product labels to determine the amount of water-to-product needed. Be
sure to wear protective gloves, long-sleeves, and closed-toe shoes when mixing
and spraying the herbicide.

In order for your treatment to reach its maximum potential and to give it time
to reach the tubers and rhizomes of the nutsedge weed, do not mow your lawn
before application. Wait a few days after your application to mow the grass.

It takes some time for the herbicide to penetrate and kill the nutsedge, meaning
it may take one to three weeks to see results after your treatment. Wait at
least four weeks after application to determine if you need to re-treat.

Step 2


RE-TREAT THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER




One post-emergent herbicide application may not be enough to kill all of the
nutsedge in your lawn. If the nutsedge tubers are not killed, the weed will
return the following season.

Consult the label of your post-emergent herbicide to determine how often you can
re-treat your lawn. Continued treatment will increase the chance of the
herbicide reaching the weed tubers and the weed not returning the next season.

If you know your lawn has nutsedge, there are a few steps you can take to
prevent the weed from returning the following year. Read our guide on how to
stop nutsedge from growing in your lawn to learn how. Click the right arrow
