How do I control nutsedge?
Nutsedge can pop up in lawns and in flowerbeds. It forms little nuts along the roots so new plants spread even if the mother plant is pulled or dies. Products like Basagran, Image, Manage, RoundUp and MSMA have all been found by OSU to give some control over nutsedges. (Some of these can be expensive). At best a single application will only kill 70% of the nutsedge. Pulling is also possible. But with any method, you must repeat it at least three times when you see new plants. Be watchful about reinfestation.
