What is this?

This stuff is growing like crazy in one of my soybean plots. Any idea what this is?

Nutsedge

 

[DoubleRidge]

Agree...looks like nutsedge grass

 

[DoubleRidge]

And reading on line....if your beans are round up ready....then glysophate is listed as effective against nutsedge grass....and you can drive over beans to spray...they will bounce back....or if plot is smaller spot spray with backpack sprayer.

yellow nutsedge, roundup will not kill it
halosulfuron is what you need.
halomax 75 is what i sell.

Halosulfuron is safe for legumes?

I use Basagran in my clover. Liberty & Gly mixture has fried it in my annual plots but waiting to see if it comes back. Have used a 5% Gly before and it always came back...

I'm laughing at myself... I so focused on the soybean plants I was about to post 'they're soybeans, dummy!!!", then I saw the responses and looked back at the pic and saw the nutsedge in the middle of the plot!!!!

but yes, nutsedge is tough to kill. Roundup will knock it back a bit, but won't kill it. I had a bunch in a new low lying area I turned into a plot a couple years ago. Had a bunch of brushy growth as well, so I hit it with Remedy plus Roundup. THAT did the trick.... no more nutsedge. (don't do that to your beans tho!!!)

It will grow in many places but likes wet ish areas. If that's a wet area , dry it up to help beat nutsedge

unfortunately, my beans are not round up ready.

its a low lying area that gets wet often. the stuff is getting thick in that plot

better get a hold of it, it spreads like crazy. We battled it for a couple years, but finally have the upper hand. Did most of our spraying walking with back pack sprayers. halomax 75

If possible subsoil break that area to break up the hard pan and hopefully dry it up

Not good at all !! Like stated before its nutsedge and one pain in the arse to control. Nothing kills it
Hay fields are abandoned because of it
