Purple Nutsedge is the most "common" member of the
Nutsedge family in the Southeast. Yellow Nutsedge and Green Kyllinga
are two other Nutsedge found in the South, though not as frequently.
Nutsedge is a very difficult weed to control. They are perennial,
grassy weeds and spread aggressively through their seeds, rhizomes
(under creeping stems), or nuts (tubers). The underground "nuts"
can lie dormant for several years, requiring an active vigil over
previously treated areas.
Small "invasions" can be effectively combated by digging
out the offending Nutsedge. There is also a product available
called "Manage" that can suppress Nutsedge in situations
with large populations. This product applied in late Spring or
early Summer will selectively control the Nutsedge after it has
emerged from dormancy. In bad infestations a follow-up treatment
of "Manage" may be needed later in summer for controlling
potential regrowth. This product works to suppress sedge activity
during the growing seasons and is not a one-time complete kill
product. If you wish to schedule this extra treatment, please
call our office.
