When should I spray for nutsedge?
Late spring/early summer (when it is young and actively growing) is the ideal time to control yellow nutsedge. During its early growth stages, yellow nutsedge has not started producing tubers and is most susceptible to control with herbicides. As the summer progresses, nutsedge plants form seedheads and tubers.

How long does it take for Sedgehammer to work?
Sedgehammer is absorbed into the leaf tissue within 24-48 hours and enters the vascular system. It travels to the base of the leaves where the growing point is located. Critical amino acid production within the plant is then halted. Yellowing and browning of leaves usually occurs within 10-14 days.
How do you know if you have a herbicide?
Symptoms. The most common symptoms for these herbicides are leaf and stem malformations. In broadleaf plants stems curl, twist, and droop, while leaves are cupped, crinkled, or have a “drawstring” appearance caused by irregular growth at the leaf edges. In cotton plants, points develop on leaf edges.
Why do plants die from herbicides?
Plants die because they cannot take up enough water and nutrients to sustain growth. The root inhibitors are most effective on small-seeded broadleaf and grass weeds. Large-seeded weeds and crops generally survive normal dosages because their roots and shoots grow through the herbicide treated zone in the soil.
What is the cell membrane disruptor herbicide?
The cell membrane disruptor postemergence herbicides control both grasses and broadleaf weeds by destroying cell membranes and causing rapid desiccation of the plant. There are two types of cell membrane disruptor herbicides: the bipyridylium and the diphenylethers. The bipyridylium herbicides require thorough plant coverage to be effective, and they have no soil activity. The diphenylether herbicides act in a similar way but more slowly. Some of them are more selective between crops and weeds. The herbicides Goal and Reflex have significant soil activity.
What herbicides are used to kill broadleaf weeds?
These herbicides are widely used to control broadleaf weeds in grass crops such as wheat, corn, sorghum, forages, and turf grasses. One member of this group, 2, 4-D, was one of the first selective herbicides developed. Growth regulator herbicides upset the normal hormonal balance that regulates processes such as cell division, cell enlargement, protein synthesis, and respiration. That is why this group of herbicides is sometimes called the “hormone herbicides.” These herbicides are very versatile for weed control. They usually are applied to the foliage, but are also effective in the soil. Any herbicide that falls on the soil instead of the foliage can be percolated into the soil with rain or irrigation and will be taken up by weed roots.
What is postemergence herbicide?
Postemergence herbicides control weeds that are already growing and easily visible. Some herbicides are applied to the soil and are taken up by seedling plant roots or shoots. They are said to have soil activity. Herbicides that are applied to plant foliage have foliar activity. Some herbicides have both.
What is the best herbicide for postemergence?
Herbicides such as Buctril®, Basagran® and Tough® are used as foliar, selective, postemergence products. Others such as atrazine, Bladex®, Caparol®, or Cotoran® are generally used as preemergence herbicides, but are sometimes used postemergence. Their selectivity when applied postemergence depends on the crop and application method.
What is selective herbicide?
Selectivity is the process by which a herbicide controls or kills certain plants but leaves others unharmed. Selectivity may be as simple as controlling broadleaf plants but not grass plants. Many new herbicides have more sophisticated selectivity that differentiates between several broadleaf and/or several grass plants.
How long does it take for Image Herbicide for St. Augustine Grass and Centipede Grass RTS to work?
I used it about two weeks ago on my St. Augustine lawn to kill Florida betony and clover. The temperature was about 70. So far there is no yellowing or other sign that the weeds are dying. How long does it take?

Per the Image product label, you should apply Image in mid to late October followed by a second application in mid to late February when treating Florida Betony. You may need multiple applications to control clovers, as well, when using atrazine. Clovers will not be actively growing in the Spring, either, so it is harder to control weeds ...

Introduction
Growth Regulator Herbicides
- These herbicides are widely used to control broadleaf weeds in grass crops such as wheat, corn, sorghum, forages, and turf grasses. One member of this group, 2, 4-D, was one of the first selective herbicides developed. Growth regulator herbicides upset the normal hormonal balance that regulates processes such as cell division, cell enlargement, protein synthesis, and respiratio…
Photosynthesis Inhibitors
- Herbicides in this category inhibit photosynthesis, the process by which all green plants convert light energy from the sun into sugars (food). Photosynthesis inhibitors are broadleaf herbicides, but also control annual grasses to some extent. Herbicides such as Buctril®, Basagran® and Tough® are used as foliar, selective, postemergence products. Others such as atrazine, Bladex…
Pigment Inhibitors
- Herbicides classified as pigment inhibitors destroy the green pigment (chlorophyll) in leaf tissue. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis; without it, plants die. These herbicides are often described as “bleaching herbicides” because they cause new leaves to appear yellow or white. These herbicides are absorbed by roots and translocate to the...
Seedling Growth Inhibitors
- Some herbicides act on seedling weeds shortly after they germinate and before they emerge. These herbicides work beneath the soil so their effects are seldom seen. If overapplied, however, they may inhibit growth of weed or crop seedlings that do emerge through the soil surface. These herbicides can be divided into two groups—root inhibitors and shoot inhibitors. Root inhibitors.T…
Cell Membrane Disruptors and Organic Arsenicals
- The cell membrane disruptor postemergence herbicides control both grasses and broadleaf weeds by destroying cell membranes and causing rapid desiccation of the plant. There are two types of cell membrane disruptor herbicides: the bipyridylium and the diphenylethers. The bipyridylium herbicides require thorough plant coverage to be effective, and they have no soil act…
Lipid Synthesis Inhibitors
- Lipid synthesis inhibitors are unique because they act only on annual and perennial grasses, not on broadleaf plants. With the exception of diclofop, these herbicides are applied postemergence and have little or no soil activity. Crop oil concentrate or some other type of adjuvant must be used to increase herbicide uptake into the leaf. To be most effective, these herbicides should b…
Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitors
- This new category of herbicides can be used at extremely low rates, controls both grasses and broadleaf plants, has soil and foliar activity, and is essentially non toxic to mammals and most non vegetative life forms. Amino acid synthesis inhibitors bind to a specific enzyme and prevent the development of amino acids essential to plant life. The enzyme to which they bind is abbrevi…
Other Herbicides That Inhibit Amino Acid Synthesis
- The herbicides in this category also affect amino acid synthesis but in a different way than the previous group. These herbicides are nonselective and control a broad range of annual and perennial grasses, broadleaves and sedges. Roundup Ultra®, one of the most commonly used herbicides on the farm and around the home, is in this category.
