Per the manufacturer, you may need to wait a few months in order to plant as you may need to do multiple treatments of SedgeHammer Herbicide. If you do make multiple treatments, you can plant new perennials and annuals at least 4-6 weeks after your last application.
Sedgehammer is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it cannot be used near a vegetable garden or anything edible. For nutsedge in landscaped areas it is recommended to spot treat the sedge with a glyphosate or Round Up type product directly. We recommend Roundup QuickPro 1.5 oz. packs for ease of use
Yes, fertilizer can be applied at the same time as SedgeHammer Herbicide. There is no wait time.
SedgeHammer Herbicide will kill yellow and purple nutsedge but not globe sedge. To control all 3 you would need to use something like the Dismiss Turf.
After treating with SedgeHammer+ Herbicide it will take time to completely kill the treated sedge but because the dead sedge will eventually decompose, there is no need to pull out the dead weeds.
SedgeHammer Herbicide should not be applied as an over the top spray to desirable around groundcovers, ornamentals, vegetables, shrubs, trees, or flowers. Our best recommendation is to spot treat with a glyphosate product like Roundup QuikPro, taking care to not spray desirables.
SedgeHammer Herbicide is a great product labeled to treat Purple Nutsedge, Yellow Nutsedge, Kyllinga in most warm and cool season turfgrasses. Please see product label for complete list of tolerent turfgrasses.
Triad Select Herbicide can be tank mixed with Sedgehammer to treat broadleaf weeds but would not take the place of a Non Ionic Surfactant.
SedgeHammer Herbicide is safe for application to established Zoysia.
Because sedges are so hard to control there aren't many pre emergents on the market that will work on nutgrass/sedge at all. Freehand is one that works well and can be used in a variety of bedding and turf areas.
You can either spot treat with roundup or sedge control product like Sedgehammer for post emergent control over the nutgrass.
SedgeHammer Herbicide should not be used on pastures or grazing areas, and you should not treat around hay that will be used for animal feed. The SedgeHammer should not affect Timothy grass that may be contacted by the herbicide, although the product label does not specify information about this plant, so we would recommend spot treating a small area first before applying over a large area with this plant. The 1.33 oz bottle of SedgeHammer will yield about 40 gallons of finished solution. You should add 2 teaspoons of a non-ionic surfactant per gallon of water when diluting SedgeHammer from the larger bottle. The smaller packets already have a surfactant mixed in with the product.
Sedgehammer as well as any other product on the market needs to be used within 24-48 hours of mixing it up in your tank. Try to only mix up what you need at a time or see if there are other areas you can treat with the product for weed control to use all of what was mixed.
The SedgeHammer Herbicide packs contain a surfactant to increase the effectiveness of the product. It is not necessary to apply it with another product for faster results. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
