Nope, cleth won’t touch it as it’s a sedge and not a true grass.
I’ve had good luck mixing ortho sedge killer in a backpack sprayer and spot spraying it. Once it gets thick it’s hard to get rid of without nuking it and starting over in my experience.

this is what I use, dump a bottle in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer and spot spray.

Try Basagran for nutsedge. (1 q per acre)
Basagran T/O Herbicide (domyown.com)
I spot sprayed with SedgeHammer in my clover last year, with good results and no clover damage.

Permit is the only thing I’ve ever used that reliably kills nutsedge.
The glyphosate dose to kill it is so high (3qts per acre) that you are going to zap your clover no matter what. Permit offers residual protection as well, but the plant back intervals for certain crops is very long.

Thanks! I’ll prolly go with a strong dose of gly, it’s only about a third of an acre.

Have you ever used this more conventionally through a boom sprayer? That is pretty reasonably priced at 1 qt per acre.

I ordered some Basagran, I couldn't get much information on residual effect in the soil, because it is made for turf. Have you tried planting after application? Just curious, I don't plan to plant except by t&m and it would be at least 45 days later.
**Edit to say just found some extension documentation that says there's no residual effect and it breaks down in soil quickly. Also read it works best with a reapplication 7-10 days later.
I've never used it. I had some Sedgehammer left over from my home lawn, so I haven't needed to buy Basagran. It's on my to do list, if the sedge in our clover gets bad over the next year or two.

If you’d like, I’ll report back how it does.

Plot is pretty full of it, the drought seemed to have made it explode the end of last summer. Must be some pretty drought resistant stuff and it had no competition at that point.

That’s why I’m waiting a while to spray. I plan to take a look at the back plot this morning.

I had to wait longer than I wanted to spray the nutsedge; the neighbor's wheat just came out this week and I have to cross a portion of the field to get back to the plot. I'll be spraying Basagran at 2 pts to the acre per the label along with some AMS. We'll see what happens. I'm supposed to spray again according to the label 10 days later for better control.

Have you used sedgehammer? Did it work pretty well? I'm gonna need something soon. I killed sedge once with powermax, but this last formulation I used didn't get it done. I also tried obscene amounts of calcitic lime, that also didn't do it.
