Re: REF: List Subject Tags and Nutsedge

Thanks Mike.   Since it is so late in the season, I'm going to wait until spring to spray
  for the nutsedge.   It is going dormant.

  Last year I selected two clumps of iris. One a vigorous grower and one an 
average grower.

Then I soaked those clumps with Basagran 5 time every two weeks. They did 
not grow well and leaf edges turned brown. This spring the grew fine like 
they had never been sprayed. Neither bloomed.I believe that was from lack of 
reserve build up from year before.

This year had clumps of Nutsedge in a seedling bed and asparagus bed. They 
were sprayed one time and lightly compared to the test spray. Nut grass was 
killed above and belowground. No sign of harm to seedlings or asparagus.

Great stuff but make sure to get their spreader sticker.
