Help Identifying this grass in lawn

Post by Rkdjc » August 20th, 2023, 8:32 pm

Trying to determine for sure what this is. I’ve got a few patches starting to appear. Grows much quicker than surrounding grass. I’ve been hand pulling this far. Hoping it’s not quack grass. Thank you.

Looks to be nutsedge. Sedge hammer or tenacity do a nice job on it. Treat it and don’t pull it out!

Are you sure that's nutsedge?? I have the above also, but thought it was some sort of dallis/quack or prairie type grass. If it is, geez... I've been doing it wrong the whole time and will try to spray it out. Looking to see what others have to say.

It doesn't look like a prairie grass to me. None of the prairie grasses I've grown, anyway.

Nutsedge is relatively easy to identify. It's triangular near the ground.
