Food Plots Nutsedge Invasion

[tellico4x4]

Anyone else having problems with it? First showed up last year for us in 3-4 plots. This year it is literally in all 37 plots. Sprayed them with Basagran T/O and seems to be working. At least it is turning brown above ground, only time will tell if it gets the nuts in the ground. Fear that this is going to be a long battle....

had it last year too in my clover and so far this year I haven't noticed it as bad. Also, had it in my lawn last year but so far none.

I'd say it hitchhiked on the bush hog last year. It can sure save a lot of herbicide to spray off equipment between fields and farms.

That is a possibility..., have noticed it also this year on our roadsides & even in the camp yard!

I see more of it in wet years and/or low spots whe e a little more moisture sometimes collects. Sometimes, simply improving water filtration will discourage it.

Basagran should take care of it. Just give it a little time.

It showed up first in a couple of bottom land plots we have. Now it has expanded to even the sorry dirt ridgetop ones...
