You could use a product like Dismiss Turf Herbicide to kill sedge and other weeds in the area. The most effective sedge products kill the plant slowly, and can often take a repeat application after 6 weeks to see full control. Nutsedge spreads through nutlets and tubers below the ground, so often when you kill the top plant, some of the attached tubers a few inches over will sprout a new plant. This is what makes sedge so invasive and hard to eliminate.
Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. is applied per acre with sufficient volume of water (10-50 gallons for ground equipment) to cover the acre (other mix rates listed on the label for smaller areas). The tank mixing instructions with other products can be found here.
