Dual herbicide is very effective in controlling nutsedge for one growing season and it breaks down in two months so doesn't leave a residue. Though its registered nationally in only corn and beans in my state of NJ we have a special local needs c24  lable to use it in tomatoes, peppers, onions and cole crops. Sandea is very good in long season control at rates of 1/2 ounce per acre, I use it on pumpkins, melons, zuchini, cukes, tomatoes and peppers. The lable says you can use it on sweetcorn, dont!. Basagran is a good nutsedge killer in sweetcorn and beans...Bob.

I have nut grass thicker than Bermuda grass, and my extension agent says his only suggestion is to move. After 5 years, I am now ready to apply herbicide. Anyone have any suggestion as to which herbicide for nut grass, and application techniques/process. In some cases, it is next to trees and shrubs.  Thank you in advance. Craig Gilbert
