I have been rotating between halosulfuron, sulfentrazone, and mesotrione in a multiyear process to get yellow nutsedge under control. I started the regimen again this May when the nutsedge was visible but before it was really growing in earnest. Starting earlier this year seems to have made a big difference.
Is pyrimisulfan worth adding to the arsenal? It comes in a granular format that I was considering using on sedge to avoid drift onto the garden adjacent to the lawn. It seems to be much more expensive, but I would consider paying extra for peace of mind.

UPDATE Pyrimisulfan for Yellow Nutsedge
I applied pyrimisulfan in mid-May. It seems to have killed almost all of the remaining yellow nutsedge. It took two to three weeks to see results.
There are just a few plants left that I can spot spray with another product. It was expensive but it was effective. We’ve had a lot of windy days this spring and not many clear and calm days to spray.
Having a granular option was a good option for me. I wish I had taken before and after pictures.
