FL Weed ID

Hi everyone, I'm working on clearing my yard up and I have a lot of this weed in it. I hit it Celsius last week and it is still as green as can be. Any recommendations on getting it under control?





Thanks in advance!

Are those spurs/burrs I'm seeing?

The label very clearly says that Celsius controls weeds in 1-4 weeks.

That would be nutsedge which isn't controlled by Celsius. There are several herbicides that will work to varying degrees. Certainty works very well, but like Celsius, it has a high initial price point. Some others like Sedgehammer can be bought in small packets for one time use.

Is the stem triangular or round to the touch when you roll it between your fingers?

Actually, after looking at the pics a little closer, it appears to be green kyllinga. Everything else in my prior post holds true.

Yeah...I figured it was something in the sedge family.

I have some false green kyllinga (I think) that pops up in a certain place each year. It's related, but a little different looking.

Yes, yes they are. Google returned nothing with "burr" or "sand spur", I was hoping Celsius would get it but according to the group I need to go after it with something specific to sedge.

I'm so impatient, I want it to work now!!! Thanks Andy! I'm about to submit a soil test from Logan Labs, hopefully today, I hope the soil forum isn't slammed. Looking forward to getting my yard back on track.
