    Q
    Can Halosulfuron Pro be used to kill nut grass and not kill my grass?
    A
    Yes, Halosulfuron Pro is a selective herbicide meaning it will kill your nutsedge in your grass, but not harm your grass.  You should read the product label to ensure that it is compatible with the type of grass that you have.  It is also important that you apply the right amount of product so you do not harm your grass that you do not want to kill.

    Q
    I have already sprayed a garden bed withHalosulfuron Pro Herbicide. How long do I wait to plant veggies in the area again?
    A

    Halosulfuron Pro Herbicide is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it cannot be used near a vegetable garden or anything edible. It remains in the soil for up to 3 years so the manufacturer recommends that you not plant anything edible in an area where it has been applied for at least 3 years.  For nutsedge control in or around a vegetable garden, it is recommended to spot treat the sedge with a glyphosate or RoundUp type product directly.  With this type of product it is only necessary to wait 2-3 weeks after application to plant vegetables or anything else.  We would recommend Roundup QuickPro 1.5 oz. packs for ease of use. Also, you should not just pull the plants. This will just split off the rhizome and more new plants will grow from the nutlets left in the soil. To completely remove the plants, you would need to completely dig out the nutlets so that new plants do not grow from them. Many folks will still till the soil after using RoundUp to be sure there are no remaining nutlets that will grow new plants.

    Q
    Will Halosulfuron kill the current and future nut grass under my pool liner?
    A
    The product you are currently asking about has been replaced by the manufacturer with a product called Pro-Sedge. It is the same active ingredient just a different name and look. The Pro-Sedge is a post emergent herbicide for Yellow and Purple Nutsedge as well as a few other broadleaf weeds. This will only kill the current grass that is there but it will not prevent new nutsedge from coming up. There is currently no pre emergent product on the market for nutsedge.

    Q
    How effective is Halosulfuron Pro Herbicide on killing the rhizomes in Johnsongrass?
    Is there a better product for killing Johnsongrass in pastures?
    A

    Unfortunately, Halosulfuron Pro Herbicide is not labeled for Johnsongrass and it has been replaced by ProSedge Herbicide, which is also only labeled for some broadleaf weeds and Nutsedge. Johnsongrass can be a nuisance and hard to get rid of, unfortunately, there is no chemical labeled for it in pastures. You can mow it as low as possible and/or apply a Glyphosate product such as Roundup Pro Concentrate to spot treat but even then you might only get suppression. We would also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office and speak with a Master Gardener to check if they are aware of a successful product.
