Keep it cultivated or flamed to prevent sufficient growth
to initiate "more" nutlets.
Research has shown that sweet potatoes grown
in the rotation will also function as an allelopathic cover
crop to nut sedge. Marty Baker a horticulturist in Texas
has done field trials on this and says it really works.
Flaming will fry the leaves back.
Acetic acid herbicides will also fry the leaves back;
I tried it last year.
Weed barriers will definitely control nutsedge or
even Johnsongrass (except where your planting
hole is located). Check out the DeWitt Sunbelt
Weed Barrier.
Having said all that, I've been out stoop plucking
the nut sedge plants from the moist soil after
it rains, to keep the plants from getting big.
But just a few feet away, there are none to be
seen where weed barrier resides.
