Sedgehammer Plus Turf Solution 13.5g – Powerful Nutsedge Killer for Lawns, Golf Courses & Sports Fields

Description

Sedgehammer Plus Turf Solution is a water-dispersible granule (WDG) herbicide specifically formulated to conquer nutsedge – one of the toughest lawn weeds. It delivers precision nutsedge control without collateral damage to grass. To use, simply pour the 13.5g pack into one gallon of water in your pump sprayer. The packet instantly dissolves and the built-in surfactant helps the solution coat every leaf. Then, spray the mixture evenly over the nutsedge-infested area until the plants glisten. There’s no guesswork or extra mixing; the easy instructions make it hassle-free even for new users.

Once applied, Sedgehammer Plus works systematically. The herbicide moves from leaf to root, halting essential amino acid production and stopping nutsedge growth from the inside out. Within a week or two you’ll begin to see those tall nutsedge shoots turn yellow and brown. Over the next few weeks, the entire plant, including its underground nutlets, will die. Because nutsedge spreads via underground tubers, repeated treatments (e.g., 2–3 applications in a season) may be necessary to completely eliminate a heavy infestation.

Throughout the process, your grass stays green and healthy. Sedgehammer Plus is one of the most lawn-safe nutsedge killers available. It can be used on most established turfgrass species (cool-season and warm-season) and even on ornamentals in landscaped areas, as long as only weeds are sprayed. And because it kills weeds without harming grass, overseeding can resume just two weeks after treatment if needed.

Benefits of Using This Product

• Reliable Nutsedge Elimination: Gets to the root of the problem by killing both nutsedge foliage and tubers. You won’t have to “mow around” nutgrass any longer.
• Broad Weed Control: In addition to nutsedge, it suppresses kyllinga and many broadleaf weeds (like horsetail, ragweed, and cocklebur). It’s a multi-purpose weed fighter.
• Built-In Surfactant: Saves you time and cost – no need to buy or measure a separate surfactant. The pack already includes it to improve spray spread and uptake.
• Seasonal Flexibility: Effective in both cool-season and warm-season turfgrass environments. Works year-round (when nutsedge is active) in various climates.
• User-Friendly: No complex equipment or formulations needed. Just dissolve and spray. Crystal-clear instructions guide even first-time users to success.
• Safe for Family and Pets: Once the spray dries (about 4 hours after application), kids and pets can safely return to the lawn. It’s far safer than many generic lawn chemicals.
• Long-Term Savings: A little product covers a lot of ground. One 13.5g packet is enough for a typical backyard and costs only a few dollars, making it an economical solution for persistent weeds.

How to Use / Installation

1. Prepare the Solution: Fill your pump sprayer with 1 gallon of clean water.
2. Add Sedgehammer: Pour the entire 13.5g packet into the sprayer. No additional surfactant needed. Shake or agitate until fully dissolved.
3. Application Timing: Apply on a calm, dry day when nutsedge is green and actively growing. Avoid mowing your lawn for at least 2 days before and after application. Do not spray if rain is expected within 4 hours.
4. Spray Thoroughly: Evenly spray the solution over the nutsedge-infested areas. Wet the leaves completely – the spray should cover the foliage so it glistens, but avoid runoff. The built-in surfactant helps the herbicide cling and penetrate the waxy nutsedge leaves.
5. Aftercare: Leave the area alone for about 4 hours. The herbicide is rainfast (won’t wash off) after ~4 hours. Keep children and pets off the wet lawn until it dries. After drying, normal activities (playing, watering) can resume.
6. Repeat if Necessary: In most cases one application will do, but for very heavy infestations you may reapply after 6–10 weeks. Always follow the product label’s maximum application guidelines.

FAQs

• What is Sedgehammer Plus and how does it control nutsedge?
  Sedgehammer Plus is a selective post-emergent herbicide specially formulated as a nutsedge killer. It contains halosulfuron-methyl which targets the physiology of nutsedge. The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and moves down to the roots and tubers, effectively killing both the visible plant and its underground nutlets. It works on both yellow and purple nutsedge, as well as suppressing kyllinga and several broadleaf weeds.

• How long does it take to see results after applying Sedgehammer Plus?
  This herbicide starts acting within 24–48 hours, but you won’t see immediate wilting. Nutsedge leaves typically begin to yellow within 10–14 days, and the plants die off in about 3–4 weeks. Because nutsedge grows from underground tubers, multiple applications over time may be needed to fully eradicate it.

• Is Sedgehammer Plus safe for my lawn, pets, and family?
  Yes. Sedgehammer Plus is gentle on most lawn grasses and is labeled for use on home lawns, golf courses, sports fields, cemeteries, and other turf areas. You should keep children and pets off the treated area only until the spray dries (typically about 4 hours). Once dry, it is safe for play. Just avoid spraying desirable flowers, vegetables, or ornamentals.

• How should I apply Sedgehammer Plus for best results?
  Mix one 13.5g packet into one gallon of water in a spray tank. Shake to dissolve. Spray the solution evenly over the nutsedge you want to control, ensuring full leaf coverage. Apply when the weeds are actively growing and not under stress. Avoid mowing 2 days before and after treatment, and wait at least 4 hours (or until rain passes) before watering.

• Will Sedgehammer Plus hurt other plants?
  Sedgehammer Plus is designed for turf and specified non-crop sites. It will damage or kill many plants outside its target range. Do not spray it on lawns with vegetables, flowers, or garden beds. It can be used around established woody plants (trees/shrubs) if applied carefully as a directed spray on nutsedge. Transplants or seedlings should be treated with caution: for example, wait at least 4 weeks after seeding before applying, or 3 months after planting woody ornamentals.
