Nutsedge Weed Treat Nutsedge In Your Lawn
How To Treat Nutsedge:
To treat Nutsedge, you will need a particular herbicide, as Nutsedge is a sedge, so traditional broadleaf or grass chemicals will not work.
We would recommend that you use a product containing halosulfuron or sulfentrazone for treating Nutsedge. Your lawn may need multiple treatments to eliminate this lawn weed.
Nutsedge can be challenging to control, so it is best to treat your lawn from Nutsedge before it spreads.
Fun Fact: Nutsedge can be easily spotted as it grows faster than typical lawn grass.
