Nut Grass Control - Part III Print E-mail

Earlier I talked about nut grass control and focused on my efforts in controlling nut grass in my own yard. I have been hand weeding any shoots that come up with good success.

I also mentioned some of the new nut grass controls, especially Manage. At the nursery we have (or had) an area with masses of nut grass coming up. Diana, our nursery manager, decided to see if Manage would work on the area. She applied it in early summer with only fair results. After the second application though we are seeing zero regrowth so far.

It looks like Manage will be part of our arsenal with nut grass control. You do have to use it together with Herbicide Helper, which is a special sticker for weed control products.

One problem with Manage is that it comes in a dissolvable pack that makes one gallon of spray. And you have to mix new spray each application. At 16.99 a pack it seems expensive if you only have a small amount to control. But if it continues to control nut grass with only two applications it is worth it.

I will report again next spring to let you know how the nut grass does next year.
