Nutsedge - Pre-Emergent PROGRAM?

Nutsedge is a big problem among many turf types. It seeming comes back year after year. However, utilizing these application techniques and product rotations, nutsedge can be managed to lesser amounts year over year.

Nutsedge in NY 🤯 I really appreciate the time you took to make this detailed presentation. I agree with changing the attack plan. If they spread via tubers, then attack the tubers. I will do some more research looking to find if some of the items are in granular form

[@AffordableLawnCareJoCo]

Excellent video

[@lindahammond7759]

Excellent information. The best I have seen on KZbin for this problem

[@nickysidebet4557]

This shit is amazing.

Great video professor Matt!

[@nemodown1]

I've been dealing with nutsedge here in Florida for years. Yesterday I stacked sedge hammer and sulfentrazone. Sulfentrazone I used at half the low rate as my Bermuda is very young. The sedge was kicked in the Dick today to put it mildly with no visible turf injury. Ill follow up with more dismiss next month to get closer the preemergent mark. Thank you

[@404TRUCKERTV]

The only thing I found to kill Nutsedge is Katana and Image.

Hi. I am in Salem Mass and have 3 large sections of yellow sedge. I spray most of my products. What would be my best way of actually killing and not just knocking it down? Would that take several years? Which combo is best for me? Just the post emergents 3X or the pre combo in your video?

[@BobbyBowker]

Excellent video. I just got my applicator license and I’m on a quest to gain as much knowledge as I can. Your channel’s info is incredible.

[@orionmettling7417]

As someone new to lawn care, your videos have really helped me understand each of the building blocks and pitfalls that are involved with making a lawn care system. Keep up the great work.

[@ddnaomi]

What about in flower beds

[@rey3472]

You can use Sulfentrazone in ornamental beds.

[@sulmer0626]

This year I am trying Celsius and Halosulfuron for kyllinga and sedge down here in FLA. Dismiss in our heat makes me nervous especially when it is over 85 250 days a year. So far I have had good results but its sloooooooow.

[@TheGrassFactor]

Very slow, but effective. I would also check out certainty and celero. safe for your turftypes.

[@rey3472]

Add Quicksilver if you want fast foliar action on Sedges. That is safe to use in hot weather. I have at least 120 days at or over 85 here in Hawaii. Dismiss is used when it is not hot.

[@sulmer0626]

@@rey3472 Thanks for the tip on the Quicksilver

[@tonytillmon2280]

@@rey3472 would you add carfentrazone to celero as a pre-emergent program for kyllinga?

[@rey3472]

@@tonytillmon2280 I would apply 4 oz per acre Sulfentrazone 4F AKA Dismiss. Carfentrazone is for enhanced foliar activity when you have gone outside of the heat window for applying Sulfentrazone. I stop spraying Sulfentrazone when temperatures are over 85 F.

[@TheLawnStripes]

Love these videos. The professor dropping knowledge.

[@rjmiller2553]

So instead of just Sedge Hammer for nutsedge in my cool season lawn. Sulfentrazone would be a good tool to have for the Sedge and other weeds.

[@adamotto2977]

Fantastic as always Matt!

[@Gr33kG33k]

what about imazaquin ammonium? any pre-emergent effect? if so, how does it compare to trifloxysulfuron?

[@TheGrassFactor]

Though it has an imidazolinone chain, the duration comes from the sulfonylurea. So no, nowhere near the lasting impact of trifloxy

[@rjmiller2553]

Has a soil drench of high volume Sedge Hammer reach the roots? And get in the roots

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Image will blast the nutlets off that crap ..... but it’s a gamble if your favorable turf will survive the app. Kalinga on the other hand...I did a lawn late last summer that was 2 acres of nothing but kalinga an app of dismiss and Celsius and a high quality Humic Acid app sent it to weed hell.. it’s as clean as grandmas house right now.... great video!

[@rey3472]

Image was the old school herbicide for Nutsedge back in the 1990s. The tank mix back then was Image + MSMA. Worked the first time every time. I did not have the problems other applicators had with it because I never spot sprayed it. Broadcast only.

[@jamespope2407]

I like Celsius & Dismiss works good for me even think I got kill off on young Dallas grass. Your the man! keep them coming your videos help me out a lot! Thanks man.

Nutsedge and seeding will reduce my lifespan by 10 years lol. Thanks for the video!

[@lindahammond7759]

I definitely agree! I have been stress out for 3 years for so far.

[@kranerwheatens]

Nice video. I do hope it works for you in the long run. The roots in the ground can go very deep and hard to kill the nuts. Not sure if your product is a systemic one or not but it needs to be if you want to kill it for good. The percentage seems to be pretty low on the label. If it comes back next year try using a product called Dismiss herbicide. Still might take a couple shots to kill it though even with a pro product. I use 4 oz per treatment for 1 acre lawn. No more than 12 oz per year.

[@TheGrassFactor]

Thanks for watching! This video covers everything from PPOIs (like sulfentrazone [dismiss]) to true systemic ALS inhibiors (like imazosulfuron[celero])

[@miggity803]

Nutlet was Allyn's nickname in college.

[@aj12271]

Thank Matt. Good info

[@Justsomedude64]

Would you recommend (or not recommend ) spraying any chemicals like sedgehammer, sedge ender, celero or Ortho on a brand new (1 month old) lawn? I have new tall fescue, it’s only been cut once...is the grass strong enough to have chemicals sprayed on it yet? I have a large area of well dispersed nutsedge, it’s not bunched together in patches, way too large of an area to spot spray, I may need to blanket spray. Will the chemicals damage that young grass?

[@BenjaminWasHere]

Should you keep doing these videos? Let's see...when Everyone, even those who have their own channels on yard care, come to YOUR channel for these lectures,...ahh...YEAH!

[@robertvittetoe6158]

I’m a rookie here and am trying to get a handle on kyllinga in my centipede lawn in Myrtle Beach SC. I’ve purchased pennant Magum and certainty to use this season along with my two spring and one fall applications of Prodiamine. It usually emerges around June. I was planning to put down one application of pennant Magum in mid to late April and certainty in June. Any help with timing of applications is appreciated.

[@NickD615]

I've had success with Quinclorac on sedge by accident while spraying for crabgrass.

[@TheGrassFactor]

Quinclorac will yellow it but not kill it

[@minoutv7347]

Great information! Going to give this a try. I have a flower bed infested with nutsedge. Though I’m a little nervous re-calculating oz per acre to oz for 10 sq ft 😱

[@lsturbointeg]

nutsedge, would that be the yellow grass I see poking through my tall fescue?

[@rey3472]

Tower now has a residential lawn and landscape label. However, it is a severe root pruner. I use it as an alternate MOA for Goosegrass. Does nothing for Purple Nutsedge. Which is the #1 weed here in Hawaii.

[@kevcollupy]

Great stuff, no doubt I’ll be referencing and rewatching this if I have to tackle sedges Identifying purple v. yellow also seems critical to formulate a proper plan

[@TheGrassFactor]

Yes! Pay attention to growth habits

[@957X99]

Mat, I think your videos are a tremendous help. However I have a problem with putting together a program. I was going to use Echelon as a pre-emergent follow up a month later with another Echelon application, then Dismiss or Sedgehammer or both if needed. When I got the Echelon I then realized that it has a large concentration of Prodiamine (27.3%) and less concentration of Sulfentrazone (13.6%) than Dismiss (39.6%). The problem is that my lawn company has already spread two rounds of Barricade at 0.3673 oz/1000sqft. I think I'm at my limit for Prodiamine for the year and I'm concerned about overseeding in the fall. So, I'm thinking of saving the echelon until next year and applying Dismiss (4oz/A) right now. Spotted first signs of Yellow Nutsedge on 5/31 (498 GDD). Now 6/9 (668 GDD) and seeing one lawn pretty well populated with NS. Two questions -- 1) Which product should I use Dismiss or DIsmiss NXT, and 2) Should I try to get 12oz/A down now (ie 3 apps of 4oz/A before mid-July)? I could follow up with Sedgehammer in July or August if needed. You mentioned that Sulfentrazone works better early rather than late so that's why I'm asking. It is still pretty cool with only two days with highs in the 70s so far in June. Can a KBG/PRG lawn take 8oz/A in 3 or 4 weeks with temps in the high 70's low 80's? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@judyradke9847]

Wow! Excellent Matt but I think I’m more confused than ever. Will rewatch.

[@TheMightymo05]

Why not pull?

[@andrewp.619]

Maurice Fails, you’ll leave all those nutlets in ground and instead of one plant, you may have 3-6 new plants that can come out of those individual nutlets still in the ground.

[@jimdavidson5208]

Where did you get that stylish hat with the bill on the back? I kept waiting for the price tag to show on video.

[@rbljackson]

thanks matt!! This type of video is VERY helpful. In discussing the chemical names, it helps to list the product names like you did in the early part of this video. TY. . I know a lot of the names by product name, and then get lost in the AI names. My back yard is covered in Sedge, and now I have a method to go after it. TY!! My biggest takeaway from this vid is how to get that Pre em effect via multiple applications at the proper timing. I better get started ASAP...LOL.

HI Matt. Great video. I am located on Cape Cod. I've had Yellow Nutsedge for several years, and it is now up to 1,000 out of 14,000 sqft of my lawn. The lawns are a KBG/RPG mix with one sports area being dwarf KBG. Last summer we put down the following -- on 7/8 Acclaim, 8/23 Trupower/Dismiss/Quinclorac, and 8/29 Dismiss. After my lawn company applied the Dismiss, I followed with a DIY application of Sedgehammer. Nutsedge seemed to die off, but it was late in the season. Emergence has been in August in the past, however last year it was in July. This year I want to do a PRE/POST program as you have suggested, but I'm concerned about which products are best, what concentrations to use, and timing of the PRE and Post applications. Any recommendations would be helpful, thanks.

Why dissmiss and tenacity for rescue ap? I thought you said Tenacity was very poor in the beginning. I ask because i have these two in my shed.

Matt, I’m in South Florida and have St, Aug. Next year I plan on putting down prodiamine in Jan and Feb based on my 55 and 65 degree temps. If I want to follow your NUTSEDGE plan and also put down pennant magnum in March, celero in April, and monument in may, would this be too much pre/post emergent? Should I put down all at half rates. What would be your recommendation for a normal preemergent program coupled with a NUTSEDGE program. Thanks
