- Nutsedge in the lawn will quickly show its face during the summer months of lawn care but I have found a few easy ways to remove it using either Sedgehammer or Prosedge. Both of these nutsedge control products have worked well to remove the nutsedge from my lawn.

I just applied Sedgehammer a week ago, it's working well so far.
Perfect timing, I have some in my front yard and didn't know what it was, thanks for the great video.
Perfect timing! My nutsedge is in full force. I will say from my overseeding last fall plus applying air8, it has helped control it. I do still have a good amount in the front though. I irrigate and I’m full sun so it’s nutsedge best friend!
I just used this product ( Ortho) like 5 days ago and I can tell you this really work, only cost me a 8 dollar in home Depot
I've never had good success with SedgeHammer or ProSedge so I switched to Dismiss this season and it has been working great.
That is one very resilient weed!! It grew right through my pool liner last summer. I tried the Ortho. Used 3 bottles in one summer and still grew through my pool
I have some nutsedge I need to take care of as well. Great video, Ryan!
The work bench in the barn is looking good!!!!
Ugh. Hate sedge. Thanks for the tips 👍🏼
I used Sedgehammer three years ago... and last year... and this year. It has spread through its root system. This is only a defoliant. This doesnt kill the nutsedge, or stop it from spreading.
I'm fighting it in Phoenix AZ it is a tough one to kill that and spurge. Great channel thanks.
I like my hand spray bottle of Ortho. Allows me to get little spots really quick.
Todd Kepler but with an acre...
@@BeaulieuTodd Think of the forearms...😎💪
Great vid man! Sedge is persistent annually, but a pushover when treating.
Great advice 👍 It worked great on my lawn.
This video has helped me soo much on my jobs
Good information Ryan. Thanks for sharing.
My biggest issue is in the flower garden. I used Sedge Ender and it works great. The Spectracide and Ortho work over a longer period and on smaller plants because of their lower concentration of the active ingredient.
The battery powered sprayers seem to be game changers for spraying weeds.
It’s easy to get off track when you have to stop and pump up, not to mention the diminished spray until you stop.
I just bought the Kobalt 2 gal 24V can’t wait to spray!
Definitely a game changer.
@@leroyjenkins7968 What is the capacity in gallons? Curious since I may need another one…
editing on this one was golden, great info!
Thanks!
I tried Certainty 2 weeks ago in bermuda and it's working well. It does take about 5 days to start turning yellow.
Yes, sedgehammer has the surfactant in it. It's what I've used for best results for several years. I do have the Ortho pump spray for spot treatment but it's hard on the lawn and tends to spot kill the area because we are WAY over 90 degrees.
While sedgehammer works best for me, I do have to re-apply every season. It either never kills the tuber below, or it's reseeding from around the neighborhood. Regardless I've tried many things and it works best in Phoenix for those looking for something effective.
The single packets of Sedgehammer have the surfactant. THE BOTTLE DOES NOT.
jlp40 good point. I've only ever bought the packets.
Dealing with nutsedge right now! I didnt even notice that they were growing tall under some bush in my garden bed, and started seeing them in my lawn too. it's not too bad right now but I feel like more will pop out soon. my neighbor has tons. I had ordered Sedgehummer for spot treatment (used half of a packet for half gallon of water) I hope I can see the result soon.
Thank you for your videos dude. Really helpful stuff.
Awesome way to store the backpack sprayer.
Super helpful video!! Thanks!!
Just used sedgehammer this afternoon, I had the 1.33 oz size like you and it said to use surfactant. I think the little " single serving" packs have the surfactant in already if I remember correctly. The rainy spring caused fungus then nutsedge now it's hot any dry and the lawn is starting to check out. Can't win at this game sometimes. You must be lovin the new irrigation system! Cheers and Thanks.
The single packs that make one gallon of solution have surfactant already mixed in. The label even says if you add your own surfactant that results will be diminished.
Great video! Tenacity has worked great for me. Btw, the shed is looking great!!
I like tenacity as well but since I have ryegrass it tends to bleach it pretty easily
Dang, does tenacity kill every weed??
J Dub - unfortunately no it does not. Spurge is one that Tenacity does not kill but I wished it did.
I was really hoping to see that Milwaukee sprayer again. Really cool concept.
Yeah I really want to buy one. I haven't really seen any reviews putting it against any of the other sprayers. Curious if it is worth it.
Now I know I have it in my yard.
I wasn't sure until seeing this.
Thanks...I guess.
great video Ryan! I sprayed tenacity July 17 on the crab grass. It's been turning color now and wondering what to do next?
Great video I was literally going to google for a solution today because I just mowed Saturday and Sunday we have these huge sprouts sticking out. I was going to pull them but you are right they will just keep coming back if I do. I do have the ortho nutsege product already in hand so going to use that.
Did the ortho nutsedge work?
@@jdub8305 it did. But one year later I have more coming up. I need to get out there and spray again.
Hi Ryan! I'm curious why you don't reel mow your back yard as well?
What should I do with the water that I rinse the sprayer with?
Should I use a certain type of cleaner or detergent?
Got some of that nasty stuff down here too. Used just the handheld spray bottle of Nutsedge Killer by Ortho and it worked well last year but now it’s back this year. Just sprayed the rest of last year’s bottle yesterday. Let ya know how it goes
Good video I use these products are get good results. It's funny seeing someone else with the same last name. Thanks
Not a very common one
I have bermuda and what I've seen in my yard is the grass where I spot sprayed actually turns yellow as well. It does eventually come back but, it's ugly.
That's the surfactant causing sunburn. To avoid that, spray during early evening (dusk) or early morning (dawn) on a day that isn't going to be full sun. I prefer early evening so that overnight dew can help a bit with residue dilution before sun exposure and some time for the desired plant to rebuild foliar lipid structure that was damaged by the surfactant. Here in Texas, I don't spray after 9am or before 5pm, and only when wind is low.
With the battery operated sprayer, could you use it to mix the product, as you are filling the tube?
It’s now spring time here in Tennessee and my backyard is full of this weed. Just wondering what I should do after I spray. Should I throw down some grass seed or is it too late for that?
Thanks for the video, can I do this on a new sod, 3weeks old?
A quick look online shows Sedgehammer coming in at $66/oz, ProSedge at $52/oz, and Sandea at $37/oz (but sold in 10oz bottles, compared to 1.33 oz bottles for the first two.)
Those products contain halosulfuron as the active ingredient. Another a.i. used for controlling nutsedge, imazosulfuron, is found in a product called Celero which retails for around $19/oz. Keep in mind that the cost per ounce is only worth comparing if the rate you need is equal. If one a.i. calls for twice as much product but the unit cost is half the price, then it works out even.
Ryan, the grass in my new home in Ohio has been neglected for years. After two heavy applications of 2-4-D in early summer I managed to kill 95% of the clover and crabgrass. During the hot part of the summer I noticed my grass is overtaken by nutsedge, this is stuff is pretty much everywhere.
What would you recommend for large scale application? I did purchase a large pull behind sprayer for my lawn tractor. Also, can I mix nutsedge killer with 2-4-D or weed and feed?
Ortho nutsedge killer is so so. It is also restricted in NYS, where I live. I was buying it when I drove to Massachusetts. I will check out tenacity
Thank you for sharing
Great video, thank you.
Did you have any issues with the surrounding grass? What grass do you have?
Hi Ryan, can this product be used on tall fescue lawns? Last year several poll people recommended Image Nutsedge Killer and after applying it, it slowly killed the nutsedge, and later killed my Fescue. I then later read the label more closely and saw saw a warning about how it can damage Fescue. Any advise is appreciated ... thanks
Any suggestions for Johnson grass besides glyphosate
I like to mix up the product in a Gatorade bottle half full of water first to get it dissolved completely. You can see through the clear plastic then triple flush the bottle and dump in the spray tank. Some products like Sureguard foam terribly so a defaming agent is needed but a couple drops is all it takes.
Any differences getting rid of nut sedge if you have bermuda grass?
Nice video. Thanks.
Its always getting in my garden
This vide is going to help me so much. My neighbor waters his yard so much that it is like a swamp. The nutsedge creeps from his yard into mine. I've been using Ortho Weed-be-Gone with limited results. I'm going to look for these products and try them.
Ortho has a separate product called "Ortho Nutsedge Killer" that you may find useful. Your local big box store might have it (I got mine at Home Depot).
@@kingposeidon9362 I found that product and it works great
Can I put down pre-emergent this time of year
sagehammer works for me for a season, next year its back
Anyone help me out. Being summer time I plan on doing an overhaul of my front lawn in Sept (live in NJ) I will be aerating, fertilizing and overseeding. My lawn has nutsedge in a lot of areas along with few broad leaf weeds. How can I prevent weeds when I do this overhaul? Anything now? After I aerate?
I always enjoy your videos. How does the rye grass handle the hot summer weather?
It is still holding on but we'll be near 100 degrees for multiple days coming up. That's not going to be fun
Can you use this product in perennial flower beds?
What do you think of image nutsedge killer and all in one weed killer ??
Will this damage zoysia grass?
Can I do this on brand new growing grass that I tilled a month ago? My grass finally sprouted out but so much nutsedge is growing with it! Please help, I don't wanna kill the grass and have to start over
How do you dispose of the excess herbicide in the tank?
Hello Ryan. Love all your videos, and because of you my lawn looks terrific now. Preemergents, good fertilizer, and cutting taller is making my lawn thicker, greener, and healthier. I am a landscaper, and many customers have this Nutsedge in their landscape beds this year. What a nuisance. I can capture it in large growing areas with nothing else around. That being said, I sprayed Roundup Super Concentrate just a few days ago. Haven't seen the results of that eradication yet. Will Roundup finally kill that stuff?
Did it work ur Roundup?
My dogs love that stuff, hit the salad bar.
Basagran is great as well.
I have some kind of weed that looks like grass but when it gets 3 to 4 inch tall it puts out little white looking seeds. What kind of weed is this. I have St Augustine covering my yard.
Shed looks great. I”ll give it a try this season. Out of curiosity, why so many sprayers?
Miguel Angulo ... one for this and one for that. - Hispano? Uno para este, y uno para otro. Asi no mezcla los distintos liquidos para el jardin
I have a yard of nutsedge. Not a few spots but everywhere. The weather here has been 90-100 everyday so I haven’t been able to spray. If I spray when it gets cooler my yard will be brown. Finally the question -does nutsedge go dormant ? I would like to spray it then.
Great video !
You are the best. I think I have this. I'm going to try the store bought end hose first. I will pour it out into my much better end of hose sprayer and use that.
Also can you tell the difference between poa annual and nutsedge?
Did it work?
@@jdub8305 no
Am I able to use prosedge right before I overseed?
Thanks,
Did you also test the Ortho Nutsedge spray in a section of your lawn.
Nope...I already bought this product and I know it works so I went with that.
Is your garage wall covered with soffit?
I have nutsedge coming up in my seeded area that I have to water 3 times a day right now ( Bermuda ). Do I need to wait until the Bermuda is developed to spray this or should I spray now ?
TP, I am in the exact situation that you are in. My grass is about 4 weeks along and I was told by a guy that i trust with this stuff to just keep watering now and focus on the grass. Spraying could be too harmful for the new bermuda. He said that as you decrease the watering that some of it may take care of itself. Then we can spray later when the grass is more established. I'd still like to hear from other opinions and hopefully Ryan responds too as I would certainly trust whatever he has to say about it. Good Luck!
Can you do your entire lawn with this product
Ryan, I was wondering if you could help me. I have clover in my yard and I'm not sure what to do to get rid of it, any suggestions
Kevin Hannold 2 4-d
Ryan I could really use some help. Big follower. I was wondering if you have any knowledge of Japanese knotweed. My neighbor must have planted some on the fence line and now that devil weed is attempting to invade my turf...thanks in advance.
We had Japanese Knotweed on our entire back fence line. We used Bayer Advanced Brush Killer Plus. Cut down and immediately spray with brush killer. It closes up the cut fast to protect itself. We cut and sprayed again after 7 days. It hasn’t come up at all. I have one little piece I missed and just need to cut and spot spray. Now just waiting for cooler weather to seed.
Every spring it gets worse and worse...I use sedge ender and it works to kill it but more just keeps sprouting up
Shed is coming along nicely.
Is the rye grass starting to suffer from the heat at all?
Still holding on but temps will be near 100 for multiple days coming up
Im not even this obsessed with my personal care lol jokes aside, I used sedge ender concentrate and in two days all the nuts edge is turning yellow.
Sedgehammer "plus" has the surfactant already mixed while Sedgehammer alone doesn't have it.
I use Sedge Ender and have good results. Pretty reasonable too.
Sulfentrazone and Prodiamine mixed together. Not sure why a lawn would need prodiamine in the summer?
I think they have it labeled that way to be used a pre-emergent as well
There is several different types of nutsedge. Tenacity only kills yellow nutsedge which is only one out of severval
My yard looks like a jungle with different stuff growing. Should I just till it all to dirt and start over, or is reseeding going to do it for me? (half acre)
My back yard [ 3/4 ac.] was a mess also. I had the whole yard sprayed with grass and weed killer and then scraped off. New dirt was put down and seeded. Yes, it was expensive, ~$6, 000, but the yard looks nice. Don't expect it to be perfect the first year. The biggest expense was the replacing of black dirt. FYI, I live in north central Illinois.
Awesome job! Where are your cabinets from?
I got them at Lowes
I used Sledgehammer, but weeds came back the next year. I then used Katana and all my Nutsedge is gone. It kills the root and bulbs. It does take a couple of weeks to get to the root. Katana is expensive (about $300).
I just tore up an old/tired lawn and re-replanted using your name-brand Turf Grass Fescue. ~4 weeks in at this point and am seeing NutSedge. Should I let it go until the lawn is more established (i.e. next year) or can I do what you've described in the video now?
Check the label on your specific product. It should give recommendations on timing on a new seeding. It's typically at least 2-3 mows of the new grass for most products but can't be sure without checking the label for that one. Thanks!
Por favor donde se puede comprar? Soy de Chileby hsdts ajora 8 añod lidiando con esta plaga, no hsblo ingles por favor los 2 nombres
More than half of my lawn has these weeds. Would this be safe for the rest of the lawn? 😕
love how you share what you do but every time you show a drone view i say to myself your neighbors hate you every body talks about dominate your neighbors you dominate the whole neighborhood
If I can just get it to grow, .... 'anything' would be nice.
Nutsedge, arggg! I sowed a new lawn two weeks ago after many weeks of preparation. I strictly followed Ryan’s process of killing existing grass (several rounds) waited for any new growth and retreated any new signs of life. I scalped, raked, raked again until the surface was nearly 100% clear of the dead grass. I then added a full 1.5-2 inches of top soil, seeded with a zero weed tall fescue, compacted, peat moss, then water. The new geass started germinating and within 7 days I had a beautiful green lawn coming in. Now at 2 weeks the grass is absolutely beautiful BUT, nutsedge has come up at 14 days and is littered all throughout the new lawn. This is extremely frustrating. I can't walk on the new lawn to start pulling the young nutsedge out, and I can't spray to kill it and risk killing my new grass. Any suggestions??
You'll be fine. just need patience. Similar story to mine. I stopped watering my lawn for an entire year. to let the grass die. Also used Roundup about 3X, once a week, just to make sure all was dead. Then my girlfriend and I spent 8 hours a day for about a month removing as much of the dead grass as possible and leveling the landscape as much as possible in our small 500sq-ft lawn (just to give you an idea how long and thorough we were). Then laid Marathon 2 sod (tall fescue). Looked great! 2 weeks later the nutsedge started to grow - errrrrr!!!! I used the Ortho nutsedge killer about 6 weeks after laying the sod ( to let the good grass mature and be strong enough to handle the Ortho). As expected, I had to use it a couple more times. Wait at least 2 weeks (better to do 3) between each time. Only repeat applications if it still grows after each of the 2 -3 week wait period. And do NOT use it if it will be more than 85F as highs for the day or it MIGHT kill all your grass. Your good grass may turn a little brown but should improve back to norma after about 2 weeks. Only reapply when it return back to normal. If you can apply days where highs will be 80 or less, then even better. Apply after the sun sets or a couple hours before sunrise at the latest. 2 VERY IMPORTANT things: 1 Make sure to read label if it is ok for your grass. 2 - DO NOT OVER DO IT. Each application should just be ONE walk over spray. Walk at normal pace and spray at the rate you walk and only ONE pass. Hope this helps :)
I have the nasty cousin of nutsedge, kyllinga. It is going crazy with all our rain right now too.
I've seen that quite a few times in your vids. Does not look fun 👎
Sulfentrazone in cooler weather. Certainty in warm weather. Prosedge/Sedgehammer is not that effective on Kyllinga. Image(Imazaquin) works too, but it can be hard on the turf
Great timely video - Ortho has worked for me. Turned yellow within 2 days and brown a few days later. How soon after should I reseed?
Just depends on your weather and what climate you have....for my area seeding will be closer to fall in order to be successful with it
My friend, that is nut grass, similar, but different. Celsius works great for nutsedge and nut grass.
Can't use Celsius on cool season grass
@@ryanknorrlawncare Thankfully that isn't an issue for me in central Alabama. Always read instructions, ESPECIALLY with herbicides and fertilizers. Thank you for your response.
@@ryanknorrlawncare Hopefully people would read what grass types you would be able to put the Celsius on
Hey Ryan I just pulled some out of my yard and it seems to be very Shadow rooted. Am I correct in assuming this ?
sedge have bulbs at the end of roots... if u pulled out it will be come back next year more and stronger
www.google.com/search?biw=1396&bih=657&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=I8srXbWAA-zB_QbJmJsI&q=nutsedge+root&oq=nutsedge+root&gs_l=img.3..0i19l2.2315.3579..4535...0.0..0.92.381.5......0....1..gws-wiz-img.rmGXbGHE854
The "nutlet" breaks free from the roots you pulled and will regrow. Pulling nutsedge is not recommended.
If I were to do a renovation, would glyphosate take care of it or would I need to use a sedge product? I have a very large area, about 400 square feet in a poorly drained area, nothing but nutsedge.
Dustin Keller if you're looking for just burn down glyphosate will by far be the most cost effective option. Make it hot with some cheap crop oil and go to town.
Nothing but Nutsedge calls for Prosedge/Sedgehammer added to Glyphosate. That usage is on the Prosedge label. Glyphosate alone is poor on sedges
@@rey3472 thanks, that's exactly what I was asking.👍I'll look at the label for prosedge to see how many apps they reccomend.
I have new sod laid. 2 months old. Sod is great and healthy from tons of watering and it seems like the roots are established.
However, I do have nutsedge popping up all over. Probably from the existing grass that was removed.
If I use this product or sedgehammer, on the new sod, will that be safe? I heard only to use it on well established turf. Should I just wait to fight this battle next season? Or can I do it now? Thanks!!
I would probably just fight it next season
Ha! I just told my wife that. Sounds like a good plan. Also have some old grass we didn’t replace that looks a bit diseased. We have been watering it well but it’s yellow on the tips here and there. So I think we need to treat that separately than the new sod with something to help it.
Do you know if you can use Tenacity to remove this as well or does that not do it? I know it can be used for clover or crabgrass but not sure about this?
The PDF of the tenacity label I just referenced lists yellow nutsedge as one of the weeds it controls.
It is on the label...I have a lot of ryegrass and it can bleach that pretty easily
I have been using tenacity to spot spray it. i wanted to vary by herbicides having used both sedge ender and sedgehammer in the past. Whatever you use to treat it make sure it has some time to leaf out before and after treating.
Hey Ryan, would love to get your opinion on the following...would it make sense to pull the nutsedge to expedite the removal, then put down pre-emergent afterwards to stop the seeds? I just got my Tifway 419 Bermuda sod put in around November, so I’m very hesitant to do anything since I haven’t even seen its first green up yet. Thanks for any and all help! Location: South Texas.
As far as I know (and from researching again today) I don't see any pre-emergent that works for nutsedge. I have had good control with sedgehammer but that's post control obviously. Removing by hand doesn't remove the tubers underground so it will come back and multiply. Such a pesky weed for sure!
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care Thank you so much for your response! I love your channel. Definitely has me hooked. Yes, it sprouted EVERYWHERE in the new Sod so it will be a battle! Looking forward to your next video, keep it up!!! 😃
Stephen, just wondering if you happen to be in the McAllen area. I have 1 1/2 year old tif 419 and this summer has been the worst for nutsedge. Mine seems to just be growing in the thatch layer and seems like I’m getting the nut and roots when I pull it.
It’s gonna grow more if you pull it.
Nutsedge, is that also known as Quack grass?
I live in Idaho. I am having a hard time identifying if I have nutsedge or Quackgrass in my lawn. If is Quackgrass what would you do for that?
