Well, we'll see, but I think Nutsedge grows straight up from Hell and can only be finished off by Judgment Day.
Good one .
Thank you for the laugh😂
I agree, it is from Hell
oh my gosh - YES!!!
This was a totally awesome presentation about tackling my bane this summer, Yellow Nutsedge. Thanks for taking the time to discuss the fortes and limitations of these products.
Matt...thanks so much for all the help you render at the grass factor channel. I spot spray nutgrass in yards for NO hextra charge. These battery powered sprayers have been a big help in applying controls.
TY I live in FL and this summer it's taking over my lawn!
Thank you for the breakdown. Easy to follow and very informative.
This is my 4th time watching this. So much science to digest
I feel like it doesn't take it long for it to get to the 3-8 leaf stage. I mow that stuff and I swear within the next hour it's full grown. Great video like always and thanks for the insight.
Wow! As a horticulturist I am totally impressed by a very professional presentation. Thanks!
What great video. Entertaining and educational, it answers all my questions about Nutgrass control.
Great review and very useful information. Thanks!
Great discussion, thank you. Seems like yellow nutsedge, goosegrass and creeping violet are my primary challenges here in northernOklahoma. They're in both the Bermuda and fescue areas of the lawn. Based on what you shared here I'm thinking about using sledgehammer over dismiss.
Your videos are so helpful and informative. Thanks and keep it up!
Very informative, thank you for sharing this information. I've been dealing with about 5 acres of nutsedge going wild.
Very informative. Love the vids.
Rhonda Martin thanks, mom!
Good stuff. I thought nutgrass was a type of turf at first, and it grows about 4x faster than my mostly tall fescue which is a PITA. Thank you for the breakdown.
great deal of good information. Thanks
Wonderful presentation thanks
Great video, very informative. Thank you.
Just want to let you know how much you've helped me in my lawn care...
Great job....Thank you for sharing your knowledge.....
Ty!
@@TheGrassFactor where can I buy sledgehammer?
I like the white board over the new method your doing now , so back to it
When using Sedgehammer (halosulfuron ) , you MUST add a surfactant. A good squirt of dish wash liquid helps, and is abit cheaper as well.
great viedo it's realy informative I realy did not know the about applications and the correct product for the particular season.
Hey, I have been subscribed to your videos for about 3 months. You are very knowledgeable and I do learn a lot from you and practice it in my own lawn care business. You sound like a veteran in the business for 40 years! You are on your way to 15k subscribers and getting paid for your knowledge on the subject by youtube! Enjoy the videos very much! Couple topics I hope you touch on, but I won't put on this comment, just to see how you go about some things. Keep up great work!
+Kevin DiBiase thanks, brother! Feel free to shoot me an email
great vid! thanks!
Thank you for this...I'm swamped!
Matt another great informative video. I've been in the business for 18 years out in NJ. Seems like nutsedge is running crazy out here. I've try all the products you discuss( dismiss, sedgehammer,prosedge,echelon) have good results knocking it down for the season but also comes back like crazy next season. Wondering if you are seeing the same the following season?
Doug
Just wanted to say also you should have way more subscribers but don't know if applicators know about your channel. Tons of mowing channels but you are by far in my opinion a great resource for applicators. Thanks
That means a lot, Shane! You should join our facebook group - Lawn Care Applicators
The Grass Factor Will do Matt didn't know about it. thanks
Shane Bretey I was thinking the same. There isn't a channel more dedicated in the scientific aspects of turf management. It very selfless of Matt to share his tricks of the trade with others and even possible competition. When his channel blows up with subscribers I will be proud to say I was with him since the beginning! A true person who cares about education oppose to self gain.
Just stummbled upon your channel. Very informative. I am battling Kylinga in St. Augustine in central FLA. I used Blindside in the spring and it did not completely remove it but knocked it back. Now the temps are over 90 and raining everyday so the Kylinga is back. Should I try the Monument?
deeevo no sir, monument will kill St Aug. dismiss or celero are your 2 options.
Like comprehensiveness of your presentation and detailed qualifications and stipulations for application. Only wish you had included best/most economical locations for purchase.
Thanks
Good friend & Brother turned me on to you Sir,
Thank GOD he did,
Appreciate your channel more than You know.
Cheers,
👊😎
Sledgehammer has best efficacy while the plant is in the 3-8 leaf range, and anything outside of that will require multiple applications? Thanks Matt incredible channel!
Thank you for this information. I have tried two products now and nothing. I will be trying the sledgehammer next. I'm new Texas so this sedgegrass is new to me. Its a learning curve.
Watching this again. Do you include kylinga in this sedge group? That’s my problem on Centipede . Also have you tried imazaquin ( Image)?
Thank you for addressing the infestation issue. That’s what I have.
I would like to try "Monument" on my lawn. Are these products safe when it comes to our health? I don't want to get cancer or any other illness from it.
great video!
thanks, brother! i miss your vids!
Me too! I been thinking of doing the whiteboard in the winter time too but let's face it by the time I get one up it'll be spring now hahaha
Thanks, Matt excellent technical video. We live in NJ use spot spray tenacity & blanket with Weed B Gon. We have nutsedge in flowerbeds with goosegrass or dallisgrass can't blanket spray leaning spot spray?
Any thoughts on Image concentrate? I like the idea of using it as a spot treatment, sprayed on the base of the nutsedge. I don't have enough nutsedge (yet!) to warrant a full yard treatment, and I like the idea of having it available for small treatments at all times. With a single sedgehammer packet, I'd probably only use one tenth of the gallon mix and be forced to discard the rest. Dismiss seems like a great option later if the nutsedge gets out of control and if we can't get control over yard-wide spurge growth.
I have a large raised garden that has rose bushes and had vegies. I found your video and am intrigued as I am on my wits ends. I have not heard of the three products you mention in your post, have used Ortho products that have been inefficient and could damage my roses. I am in Arizona so the nutshedge starts in April all the way through October, or at least while it is hot. The weed is interfering with the growth of my roses.
My questions are:
1.What product would you recommend for a rose garden? I have to get rid of this grass.
2. What product will do the least amount of harm to the rose bushes?
3. If I use any of these products, will I ever be able to plant veggies again?
I have also considered just replacing all the dirt, going down about 4-5 feet, but have been told that will not work as the "roots" probably have spread down that far.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Had my petrol tank removed for a pump replacement on my truck.Mechanic gave me two large containers of bad fuel.One10mm paintbrush attached to a garden cane,dabbed nuts edge in my flower beds,small ones dead next day,large ones two applications,the odd one three.All gone,none returned.
How old was the fuel? Was it practically varnish?
It was new fuel,got contaminated with chlorine,like an idiot,topped up from wrong container,ruined the pump.
we spray dismiss for nutsedge and I do the middle rate that they recommend per gallon, yet i always seem to be spraying at the same properties every year. not sure what to do
I really like the price of Dismiss over the rest.
I used Sedgehammer last year... and the year before that... and the year before that. It is only a defoliant, and doesnt stop nutsedge from spreading through the root system.
When using sledgehammer, you MUST add a surfactant. A good squirter of dish washing liquid helps. ( and is a bit cheaper too)
@@stephenchristoffel2850 Did that.
...last year, and the year before that, and the year before that....
I’m having some trouble with quack grass, I live in the cool season with predominantly KB and fescue mix. Will sedge hammer work? Or should I go with certainty. I was also looking at tenacity, I’ve heard mixed reviews.
Very informative, but I have a question: Using halosulfuron, you say it has *some* effect on the nutlets. Does it weaken the nutlets enough that repeat applications will ultimately kill them?
We use monument or Katana for spring transition. The problem is the nutsedge starts to come up after we have killed of the rye and poa. So at 10 bucks a gram we are talking about an expensive proposition to reapply at the high rate. What kind of residual control do you get at 15 grams? Have you tried lower rate with urea for Sedge control? We get good results with fert adjuvant for cool season grass control.
I've mostly used the Sedgehammer on nutsedge in cool season turf. One thing I have noticed is that if you don't use up all your product mix in one day it really loses it's effectiveness.
Velvethamma that is such a great point! I forgot all about it. It used to state that in the prosedge label, but they did not include it in the sedgehammer label.
Great presentation full of information to think about. What would you use on a six week old lawn of Tiff Tuff Bermuda sod in Las Vegas In June to kill Nut Sedge?
Thank you
I have an organic vegetable and flower garden. About 2 years ago, I started seeing nutsedge. Not knowing any better I pulled the plants up and they came back 10 fold. Now, I have it everywhere in the very large garden. Knock on wood, it has not moved into the St Augustine the surrounds the perimeter of the garden.
Are any of these product safe for replanting my veggies? The rest of my flowering plants are for hummingbirds, bees, butterflys. Will these products wind up hurting any of these creatures?
If you to apply sulfentrazone 3 ounces(4 times) instead of the full 12 ounces do you still get the pre-emergent control?
My new home is on a lake here in eastern Virginia. The nutsedge is out of control. The previous owners did not maintain the lawn well at all. Just wondering what you would suggest. Thanks
The Sedgehammer label says that the product must be used the same day it is mixed. I have read the Dismiss label and there is nothing mentioned about this limitation. Do you know if Dismiss can be left in the tank for an extended period say days at a time with no degradation to the product, and will it effect my equipment?
Hey great video, I have a new zoysia matrella sod about 3 weeks old and it has nutsedge popping up, what do you recommend I do to control it?
Thanks Matt... I have a bad issue with nutgrass in my flowerbeds. Have been using Ortho Nutsedge killer, it has knocked it out better in the lawn. I am in Texas and have been hitting it every couple of weeks. It turns brown but seems to come back. My flowerbeds are mostly shrubs with a weed guard and 1 - 2 in rock on top. It comes right through it all. I have dug some up so it is not on top of the weed guard (although some grows there too). Help
Nice video Matt. Like Surge and Tzone. Pretty effective.
i love dismiss as a kicker. such a quick burn down.
Hope Dismiss is not too rough on Centipede. I have blanket sprayed my 1/2 acre and it has smashed the nut grass very well!! Minor yellowing but it has bounced back quick.
When would the best time of year to do a combo app of halo and dismiss? Yellow nutsedge is dominating my lawn, and I want to turn the tables!
Hello, I am a solo operator near Memphis. I stopped using dismiss due to it stunting the bermuda. When the grass is growing like crazy and your trying to get it so green its blue, ya you know what Im talking about, the dismiss left shorter lighter colors where it was spot treated. its terrible. I mix sedgehammer in my z-sprayer and hit while Im fertilizing. Zero knock back! Thats why I switched. Great channel man. I will sub!
ScenicRouteTravelers365 I'm a Memphis native - small world. i worked for fairway lawns for a good bit. on bermuda, I always used Monument. I miss bermudagrass!
Can you do a video on Blindside?
One area of my zoysia yard is being overtaken by centipede. What would you recommend to eliminate the centipede without harming the zoysia?
What is your background with chemicals? And chemical applications with regards to plants. I've never seen anyone have such a good grasp of chemicals as they apply to plants.
I broad cast spray and can't put it in my 300 gallon tank and make it profitable to do it . Spot spaying is my only option and I put it in my contracts that this is a added cost !
Can regular consumers buy the 3rd option chemical for Bermuda grass? If yes, can you recommend website? Great info thanks.
Hey I want to say thank you for making a video explaining all this! I have zoysia in my yard and I have pansies and clover overtaking my front yard and crabgrass, dandelions and lots of nutsedge in the back yard!! Any advice is appreciated. Do you recommend Monument for residential use and is it safe for dogs? Thank you!
+Kali M. Monument is safe for residential use and used within the label rate, you should not have any issues with dogs. I looovvveee monument. Monument is a very expensive product and requires a very precise application. Keep that in mind if you choose to not hire a professional
Hey thank you! I was thinking of doing it myself. Yes it is VERY expensive it better work! =) I was just going to read the label and follow the instructions. I assume it requires just water? Does it need a surfactant? What kind of "precise application" are you referring to? Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the vid. I have had 2 straight years of nutsedge up here in Rhode Island. I have Sedgehammer, but haven't applied it. I may get the Dismiss and combine the two to get the best results. Earlier this Spring I hit my lawn with Round Up for Lawns. It did a nice job cleaning up some of the nuisance weeds. I may have applied it too early though, as the nutsedge and crabgrass bloomed in early June. What is your view on the Round Up for Lawns? I purchased it at my local Home Depot.
Great info, I work at trugreen and I hate nutsedge so much. It's all over the place in Michigan this year and I feel like half my shift is spent spraying this nutsedge bullshit
I HAVE BEEN USING SEDGEHAMMER AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING GOOD ON THE SEDGE GRASS EXCEpt for the green kylinga should I mix the sedgehammer with dismiss.If so what would the ratio be I am only spot spraying and I want to get the kylinga under control. Since I want to fall seed would it be better to seed now and combat the kylinga in the spring? or should I do it now and when can I seed?
How does the monument spray out of the Permagreen, we’re running that machine and love it and looking at going to monument for nutsedge on our Bermuda yards.
epeach2011 does great!
Teasing us with that “Tenacity?” LOL
I have nutsedge everywhere in my backyard....grass, garden beds, and my veggie garden. What can I do to get rid of it?
Just saw your old video about nutsedge killing. Googled Monument killer and hard to find. Do you still recommend it? From your discussion that is what I should use
Thanks for the video. As someone who isn't a turf manager and has no clue on my lawn type (warm or cool) or the grass type in my lawn, what would you recommend? I do have clover mixed throughout the lawn and want to prefer having large dead spots, especially coming into the middle of the summer when it will be dry.
Is sedgehammer the best option?
Love your video. I have an all organic yard and huge vegetable, flower garden. This year I had just cleared the vegetable garden when I got sick. two months later it was covered in nutsedge. I'm at a loss as to how to kill it without damaging worms, good insects, etc. Can you help?
+Susan Loewen either of these products will have minimal effects on beneficials. Sedgehammer has the least soil persistence.
Thanks, I'll try on a section of the garden.
Half of my backyard is Nutsedge. And I mean you can only see nutsedge, no grass, Thats how much my yard is covered in the stuff. What should I do to get rid of it besides concreating it?
Bro i made the dirt for my house. 30 yards and i have nutsedge everywhere. A months work. I sprayed half of my lawn with tenacity and it killed it on emergence but the other half , not good.
What would you use on a Bermuda lawn that’s what I have
If I mix Dismiss and Sedgehammer, as you suggested for major nutsedge/zyllinga problems, do you recommend a surfactant (since it's needed for Sedgehammer but not advised for Dismiss)?
I'd leave it out
Great videos! How would this kind of treatment apply to Hawaii where it's pretty much warm all year? We have terrible problems with sedge and kyllinga.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for responding! The grass type is el toro zoysia.
Matt. How much time between the 3 applications of Dismiss? Thanks again!
Could you give us what it looks like on a lawn
I hope you are still reading this. Thank you for the info BUT I have a nut sedge problem in my rose garden. No grass there. It has weed fabric (big mistake on our part) and the nut sedge grows up through it. Of course the nutlets stay behind so pulling isn't an option even if my back would allow it. Can you recommend and product and process to help me eradicate this from between my roses? I'd be ever so appreciative! I live in Texas
Cover your roses, apply halosulfuron or Celero
I have Zephyranthes Candida can I use those products on it?
can this be used around roses, it is taking over everything?
Thanks for this video. I used ortho nutsedge on a lawn that has St. Augustine and it appears to have killed it. I am hoping it comes back but am thinking of just replanting new grass. I sent you an email with a pic - thanks for your videos. What would you do if you were me?
Micah Leddy It seems to be killing mine too. What did you do for/with it?
Thanks for the video. I do have a question about applying Sledge Hammer 🔨 on newly seeded lawns. I seeded Zenith Zoysia and it's about 5 weeks old right now with a bunch of yellow nut Sledge growing around it. I keep cutting it back like every 3 days. Would it be safe to use Sledge Hammer 🔨 on this new Zoysia?
Yessir
In clay soil, I laid down Zoysia sod, South TX, back in May/June. Its now Sept 10th, 90+ degress daily. And we're in a drout - we're always in a drout! Ha. Hence, my choice of Zoysia; I think It's Empire? Before sodding, I stripped off the top layer of ground to remove as much of weeds as possible. In one corner, of the 1,700sq ft front yard, I see maybe 15 yellow sedge weeds poking up thru the Zoysia. What would you rec I do? Leave them? Hoping the Zoysia will choke them out? Is it safe to try to spot treat them when they are growing right through the center of the new sod? Should I try to put down pre emergent for next year in the area where I now see the yellow sedge, or do I risk harming the new roots of this Zoysia ? Help guide my inexperience please...
I am in AZ. Nutsedge took over my front yard. I had it dug out, professionally treated for nutsedge, and artificial grass put down. The nutsedge is now coming up through the artificial grass. I have no other plants ar trees that I am worried about, so which is the best option to KILL this?
Traysi Parker roundup
Hello, I just found your channel and did subscribe. Great info, could you please answer one question?
I live in middle Georgia, and have 2 acres of mostly St. Augustine , and Bermuda. It is March 3, still cool, but nut sedge is coming on strong. What would you recommend and where can I purchase the product?
Thank you
I will try echelon, it has dismiss in it and it's a pre-emergent
Nice video! I purchased Sedgehammer a month ago but have not used it yet. Is there a difference in spraying it on longer yellow nutsedge, or is it better to apply after cutting the lawn. I cut to four inches over the summer. After a week of not cutting the grass and a lot of rain here in PA in late June through July thus far, some of my nutsedge grows to eight to 10 inches. Thanks!
Taller plants. You'll have additional leaf surface area to absorb the herbicide
@@TheGrassFactor thank you!!!
Hi, i need help... i have nutsedge problem every year. I got 5k sq ft and using sedgehammer... works great but every next season nutsedge comes back and its very expensive to use sedgehammer to whole lawn. I have 100% tall fescue (pennington brand). Live in NY State
ua-cam.com/video/20GHnEa8L0Q/v-deo.html
Can you mix it with you regular weed control? Tky in advance
monument herbicide any smaller sz’s aval? My lawn is like 500 sq ft
I don't have a problem with nutsedge in the lawn. It's just invasive in the landscape beds. What's the strongest chemical I can douce these grasses with?
Sulfentrazone. Do not use Sulfonylurea herbicides such as Certainty or Sedgehammer unless the label specifically lists the plants you are treating around as tolerant.
Will the Katana or Monument completely kill out perennial rye or just stunt it down to allow the warm season grass to come in quicker? My perennial rye looks so good right now, but I worry about it transitioning come Spring. Also, being that I put Ewing Eagle perennial rye, it's somewhat expensive and I'd like it to come back on its own this next cool season. Suggestions? By the way, definitely the most informative channel on UA-cam for anyone that loves to geek out on their lawn with numbers, as I do!
+Andrew P. Thank you thank you! Katana and monument will completely kill the rye. If you don't spray it out, you will definitely lose some density in your bermuda. These new hybridized rye grasses are incredibly strong. I saw a football field fertilized with 46-0-0 every two weeks to burn out the rye, have the half of the rye green back up with every rain fall all summer long. Lost a ton of bermuda. I'd just budget in overseeding it every year. And because it is so strong, wait til may or mid may to spray it out and pop the bermuda into green up with fert.
The Grass Factor thank you much! I just thought I may get lucky and not have to dethatch it like last year and overseed, but I enjoyed it and in hindsight would've done a few things differently anyways. So, good to know!
Andrew P. N(
Yeah dismiss is too hot for my perennial ryegrass even at the low rate during late spring when the nutsedge starts to emerge.
Please help. I have mint in my backyard. It pretty much is my backyard. Grows under the lawn too. Any ideas, what would you do?
Thanks so much.
Triclopyr
I have several questions regarding killing nutsedge and Bermuda grass and crabgrass after an artificial turf installation. Also advice on killing these things prior to an installation
Imazapyr
On several different videos I have heard it said that to only use Sedgehammer on "established" lawns. However, I have not been able to get a definitive answer on what "established" means. My lawn was seeded with perennial rye in June, but I have nutsedge popping up all over my lawn now. Any idea how long I should wait before I try to use Sedgehammer?
As a general rule of thumb, if you've cut twice, it's established. I would spray and not think twice about it
What about ortho nutsedge killer?
What about Image for nutsedge?
OK, I have a question. I have a 3/4 acre lot with a mix of Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine. I live near Austin, Texas and it's almost August, with temps near 100 degrees. What would you suggest I use to eliminate the Nutsedge? Thanks.
Sedgehammer, certainty,Celero, or dismiss
@@TheGrassFactor Thanks!
How do you feel about Mansion as a post emergent? Is there something that will work more quickly? I use Mansion on my broadleaf weeds. Please advise.
ua-cam.com/video/RcA9cqWdtKI/v-deo.html
Did a whole presentation on it
