How do I control yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) in a home lawn in Albemarle County Virginia?
Website Resources: http://cyperus.esculentus.turfweeds.net Recommendation: There are three chemicals that will selectively control yellow nutsedge in the home lawn (bentazon, MSMA, and halosulfuron). Bentazon (Basagran, lescogran) and MSMA (many trade names), are contact chemicals and must be treated at least 2 or more times at intervals of 10 days to 2 weeks. Halosulfuron (Manage) can more effectively kill yellow nutsedge and typically works in one or two treatments. Always read and follow label instructions when using pesticides.
