Nutsedge (Cyperus spp.) Eradication: Impossible Dream?

The elimination of methyl bromide use will affect a broad range of crops,from vegetables to cut flowers to pine seedlings.In many plant production scenarios,once methyl bromide applications have ceased,nutsedges have become significant problems due to their tolerance of many herbicides and their prolific production of energy-rich tubers. Instead of independently researching nutsedge management in each of these diverse crops,sharing knowledge concerning nutsedge biology,ecology and management may allow us to efficiently find viable solutions to this problem. This paper is a brief review of some of the knowledge of purple and yellow nutsedge biology,ecology,and management in agronomic and vegetable crops.
