Nutsedge Control

Nutsedge is a common weed found in many home lawns and other turf grass areas in the United States. There are many different types of Nutsedges, however Yellow and Purple Nutsedge are the most common turf pests.

Nutsedges are a problem in the lawn because they grow faster, have a more upright growth habit, and are lighter green in color than most other grass species, resulting in a non-uniform lawn. They thrive in waterlogged soil and their presence often indicates that drainage is poor, irrigation is too frequent, or sprinklers are leaky. These grasses are difficult to identify and may appear as either Yellow or Purple Nutsedge.

Have questions? Because these perennial grasses are difficult to control, it’s wise to consult with your local Weed Man Kansas City North professional for eradication and management methods. We're here to help!
