SedgeHammer Herbicide would be a good choice to control nutsedge in your lawn. Just be careful to apply outside of the drip lines of any fruit or nut trees.
No, you do not have to pull the weeds after applying SedgeHammer Herbicide, however, continually removing shoots eventually depletes the energy source reserves in the tubers. Tubers are key to nutsedge survival. If you can limit production of tubers, you’ll eventually control the nutsedge itself.
For optimum results, do not mow turf for 2 days before or 2 days after application of SedgeHammer Herbicide.
SedgeHammer Herbicide can only be applied to established turf. It should not be applied to ornamental or landscaped areas or edible vegetation.
The SedgeHammer Herbicide packet contains a surfactant already( the 1.33 oz bottle size should be used with a Non-Ionic Surfactant) so just adding water would be approved. It is not labeled for treating poa annua, only Purple Nutsedge, Yellow Nutsedge and Kyllinga, plus some other listed broadleaf weeds. Please let us know the desired turfgrass species and size area for a recommendation on treating poa annua.
SedgeHammer Herbicide works best applied when temps are between 60-70 degrees.
Per the label of Sedgehammer Herbicide, this product should not be applied over the top of desirable vegetation. We would not recommend using this product within the drip zone of a tree.
Sedgehammer will only control weeds that are actively growing, so it likely will not kill anyting in the winter once the plants are dormant, and it may only give partial control in the fall. It is best used in the warmer spring and summer months and early fall.

Areas treated with SedgeHammer Herbicide may be overseeded with annual or perennial ryegrass or bermudagrass 2 weeks after application. Seed should be applied as directed on the seed packaging. Sedgehammer often works with one application, but depending on the size and age of the nutsedge a second treatment may be required 6 to 10 weeks after the initial treatment. You do not want to dig up the treated sedge as it will take time to completely kill and you may need to do another application.

SedgeHammer Herbicide would not have harmed the fig tree if used as directed. While it is not labeled to be applied around edibles and applications should be kept outside of the dripline of edible trees, unless you sprayed the tree directly it should not have been affected. There are many possible factors which could be affecting the tree. We would recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for advice on what may be causing this appearance and how to best treat it.
