Question

How long after spraying basagran for nutsedge control should it take to start seeing some results? - John, FL

Answer

Everyone has questions. And BASF Professional Turf has answers.

Basagran is called a contact herbicide. This means that you see fairly fast response on the target plant after the application.

For yellow nutsedge you will see yellowing and bronzing within a few days to a week. Since nutsedge has an underground portion it normally takes this type of plant longer to show complete collapse.

Make sure when you are making the application that a crop oil concentrate is used as the adjuvant with Basagran. This is essential for the herbicide to have the highest amount of contact with the leaf surface of the yellow nutsedge.

Hope this is helpful.
