Main page Habit Foliage Roots
Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) grows upright to form dense
clumps. Its habit resembles that of many grasses, but nutsedge is not
a grass and is not in the grass family (Poaceae). Many herbicides
are available that provide excellent postemergence grass control (Envoy,
Fusilade, Vantage, et al.), however, these products will not control nutsedge
(that is, 0% control!).
