BEST NUTSEDGE KILLER between certainty, ortho, and image???
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 09. 2019
- I'm on a mission to see which of these products kill nutsedge the best. Ortho nutsedge killer, certainty herbicide, or image kills nutsedge. I think the results show that different products may be better for different people with different size lawns and different budgets. Here are the affiliate product link if you are interested:
Ortho: amzn.to/2mXsNKD
Image: amzn.to/2nmp3mb
Certainty: amzn.to/2mS3aLv
The tactful and elegant way he sneaks the rubber gloves joke seamlessly is awesome 👏 and the content is so relevant by showing results. It is 2023 and I used sledgehammer two weeks ago, nutsedge plants are brown and dying while Bermuda is bouncing back and trying to fill the bare spots
Sedgehammer is letting me down a little; after 2 applications (in upstate/ Western NY) most of my customers still have nutsedge. I HATE nutsedge.
Inspired by this video, I sprayed my backyard, which has several small areas of nutsedge, with the Ortho product two days ago. This morning the leaves are turning yellow so they seem to be on their way out. And this is even though it rained 1/8” late yesterday. I was afraid the rain would wash the Ortho off the leaves. But, regardless, I’m impressed so far.
*NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING kills them to the root .... all these money making scams are basically kill it for now ... the nutsedge will come back next year. 100% guaranteed.!*
Solid video--really appreciate the before and after; not too many channels have the patience to show whether things work and just show the application but not the results.
I use ortho nutsedge killer every season to handle kylinga, nutsedge and spurge in my hybrid Bermuda. I love the stuff!
Dismiss is also a beast when it comes to nutsedge control. It also has pre-emergent attributes. Great video with results 👍🏼👍🏼
julio CS
Oooo I like that! Pre emergent for nutsedge... 👍🏼 going to have to look into that!
For sure...it's not terribly expensive either...Matt Martin talked about this as well. 👍🏼 Keep those videos going.
@@TheLawnToolsis there a temperature range you should be applying the product at , example; nothing over 85 degrees outside, or does it matter
@@joefro9473 always read the label of a product you are going to use and it will tell you. They are all different.
2 Thumbs up for the Ortho product. I have used it, and it works well. Can't beat the convenience of it either.
Jeff Schulze
So true! Super convenient! 👍🏼
Thank you for your detailed video bro. When these seasonal nuts edge grass pops up just breaks your spirits every time… I have the patience to get a stool out and pluck them one by one, but they tend to break off from the top, leaving the roots still in the ground. I did spray image the other day hoping it helps. Now watching your video, I’m going to a local store to pick up a bottle of ortho, in my opinion seems to be the winner with quicker results
Great video as all of yours are;). Keep up the great work as I can Imagine just how long it takes to out these video together, especially on top of work and family time. Cheers pal

Thanks for the kind words! Definitely takes time but it is fun for me so that helps. 😁
The slow acting products like sedge hammer take a while to cause noticeable damage but the slowness give the active ingredient time to work through the system into the roots and get to the actual nut so there is an actual chance the nutsedge won't just come right back like it does with the fast acting products the just burn off the top and have no time to get into the system. Sledgehammer has a real chance that plant doesn't return. The more properly the product is applied the better the chance it is fully into the plants system. Not mowing before or after can make the difference of half the nutlets death to 95% Nutlet death. 0r half of a season vs a full season or 2 full seasons to have zero nutsedge coming back.
Dang dude. The effort and thoroughness put into this one is top notch. Super detailed, good info! Call me crazy, as I know everyone says not to pick it out by hand, but that's my solution! May come back to bite me in the end, but for this season, pretty much nutsedge free other than the little I've pulled. In the past, I've seen good results with the Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns plus Crabgrass Killer hose end, the orange one. Surprisingly good for 5 bucks. Used to use Bayer, now Bio-Advanced, but those didn't have the active ingredient for nutsedge. Again, well done on this one!
Budget Lawns
I’m with ya Burger Man! I pull it sometimes 🤫
Especially if I have people coming over or something. But that back yard nutsedge forest needed some herbicide 😬
I really appreciate the time you put into this and other video man. Greatly appreciated! 👍👍👍
Thank you for actually showing the results. Sounds weird, but many times folks will show the application, say there is another video with results. Full of great info!
Dadding All Day
Yea I like seeing the results in a video but it is harder for the creator cuz you have to wait 2-3 weeks to put up the video!
The Lawn Tools I completely understand.
I pull it by hand and get the entire root by reaching low and wiggling, since my CA soil is soft dark loam. Was told that would only make it spread, but has worked for me for years. Had almost none for several years, but a bit more this year, perhaps from watering more. It pops up different places in the lawn so perhaps seeds from bird poo. Mine looks like the first one, almost like Sawgrass in FL.
Certainty will take a week before you see any effect. Be patient. Also for our area there is another called Dismiss South. It works well too and doesn't take but about 2 days to see it working.
Roger Grant
Awesome! I’ll have to look into it! Although, now I have enough certainty to last me 10 years so I don’t know if I want to buy anything else 😂
Three different herbicides that work differently too. The active ingredient in Ortho is sulfentrazone, which gives a faster burndown but may require a second application for a complete kill. Also, sulfentrazone has temperature restrictions, so mind the label and dont even think of using a surfactant with this stuff if you are using a concentrate that isnt a hose end application. The Image is a slower kill, but I have also found that it can damage surrounding turf if used in high temperatures or on even slightly drought stressed turf. Certainty (sulfosulfuron) like all sulfonylurea herbicides (Celsius, Sedgehammer, etc.) take longer to work, but are typically highly effective without having temperature restrictions, and even work faster in hotter temps. Always check your label and respect the application rates.
Also, the active ingredients in the three products you tested will kill more than just nutsedge. All three will kill poa to varying degrees, and sulfentrazone especially makes a great kicker for a 3-way herbicide to increase effectiveness on broadleaf weeds.

Well heck yea, thanks for the details!
@@TheLawnTools No worries. I have dinged up my yard a bit making some mistakes with herbicides, but live and learn right? :D
Symbiont 01
I think mistakes are the best way to learn 👍🏼
@@TheLawnTools No doubt about that. I smoked some areas last Fall that didnt recover until the Spring, and wont ever do that again :D

Sedge hammer works if you apply it a few times. Just be patient. After a year of a few applications 1-2 months apart there is no more nutsedge in my Bermuda lawn. You also have to be careful if you have lawn service as might bring the nutsedge from other yards.
I have Bermuda lawn too but Sedgehammer never worked for me even with multiple applications
Even before watching the video I started singing, "🎶 Let's go! Let's go! Let's go oh AH! 🎶" What's is wrong with me? 😄 Seriously though, great content! I look forward to new Lawn Tool videos! And I especially appreciate this kind of thorough comparison of nutsedge killers including the results. Very helpful! Thank you!
Jonathan Brothers
Thanks for the kind words! This comment seriously made me happy 😁😁😁
@@TheLawnTools I'm still singing. Please help! 😄😂😂
Jonathan Brothers
😂😂😂 the subliminal messaging to get people addicted to my videos is working!! 😈
The Image can be had in a hose-end sprayer, too.
What about using these products in flowerbeds where Nutsedge has taken over?
Great time lapse approach bud excellent and the ad-lib was funny 😆
Surprised you didn’t compare the Sedgehammer as well, but good info. Thx!
Awesome video, thank you. I have a lot of nutsedge this year. This video really helps.
It's not that hard to get nutsedge to turn yellow, but it's really, really hard to keep it from coming back.
Was that the Monaco Bermuda? 😳. Remind me what state you’re in... grass is looking level, tight, and nice! Looking forward to seeding mine next March - April.
Jerry Lopez
That’s not the Monaco. I will put more Monaco seed down next spring. I’m in northwest Arkansas.
This is so needed. Straight to the points and saved me hours of researching. Thanks
Just curious, where are you located? Your lawn is awesome.
I have a ton of it in my vegetable garden. If I use your method, how long till I can safely plant veggies again??
Iv'e tried Sedgehammer and it works well, hard to find local, will try Ortho.
Thank you sir! very informative! Orlando, fl.
Great video. Home Depot had Image. I bought image. My lawn just has a small area with heavy nutsedge occupation. So hand spraying will do me fine. Thank you!
As always. Great video
Mike Haddad Lawn Addictions
Thanks so much! 😁
A true sedge feels like a three sided straw when rolled between your fingers. Pull it out of the ground, roll between fingers near the previous above ground level.
Nice scientific experiment and presentation
Great info bro! Definitely have some spots that need treatment. Good to know all these work.
The Lawn Shark
Nutsedge is pesky! Did the doc say anything about you being able to apply herbicide or fertilizer???? 😂
The Lawn Tools Ha! I didn’t ask, so that means it’s ok! 👌
But where did you get that hat…?!
I bought a big bottle of the Spectrum weed with yellow nutsedge killer. I just walk around and spot spray it and it works great.
Awesome job man! I’ve used Certainty a few times and you hit it on the head.. takes 2-3 weeks to get the results. But it is good stuff. Celsius is the same way. 👍🏼
The Lawn Channel
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sedges is that stuff I don't like, great vid man!
Bermuda Boss
Thanks buddy! Yea... hate it!
Supprised sedgehammer didnt make the cut. Works great, but slow. Great to see other options though !
Mystery weed could be torpedo grass, another sedge. It has a rhizome like growth habit and tends to come out in bunches. The base of the leaves has a reddish tint and it makes seed clusters similar to nutsedge.
Mystery weed looks like Kyllinga, a variant of nutsedge that I have killed with the Ortho nutsedge product.
Solid as always my dude! I have always had great success with Image. I just wish the results didn't take so long
mark lester
Thanks! Yes, the image and certainty take a while but I think if I would have mowed those areas, the nutsedge may have taken longer to get tall. I’m speculating though. Sometimes you just want to see dead weeds fast 😂👍🏼
How did you leave out "Sedgehammer"? That stuff works great.
Beautiful backyard!!
Thanks! 😁
I’ve had a lot of luck with the ortho. Super fast acting!
Bermuda?
@@swift4311 yes
You know my thoughts on herbicide, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know a quality dissertation on the available product when I see one....nicely done as always my friend.

The Lawn Tools hahahahaha arrrrrgh W O O P S
I pulled nutsedge earlier this summer every time i saw it pop up and it never got really bad. Guess I got lucky
Burgers&Biceps
Yea pulling won’t make it worse... just really hard to get the nutlets all out so it never comes back. Takes multiple apps to kills all the nutlets with herbicide too I think so if you only have a few there’s no harm in that
Researching this annoying new weed in my yard, and found you. Your grass is AMAZING, how can I keep mine that short? What grass is that? Beautiful!
Mine is Bermuda. It has taken a lot of ground leveling and TLC to get the grass to this point but I have no special training for grass so anybody can do it if I can.
@@TheLawnTools Thanks, how do you cut it that short, though? There's no way my battery (or previous gas) mower would cut that short?

Reel mower / greens mowers
Sedgehammer is the best for nutsedge in my experience. I get it on Amazon. Trying image this year just to see how it works.
@Hello it worked well, just took 3 weeks to work. Main benefit to image is it will take care of a lot of other problems in warm season grass whereas sledgehammer only has one use. So it depends on what you need
Dear,Love from Bangladesh!!
I find with nutsedge you have to spray close to the root to kill it off
What kind of herbicide should be used to kill the weed?
How are these products with pets in the yard?
great video. and fantastic yard.

Please do! 😂
Can you use sedgehammer on Bermuda seedlings? Most of lawn is 1 inch thick but nutsedge is taking over.
Dude, need the turf hat...where do I get it!
Hey brother. Need your help. Do any of these products stain? i want to spray it in between limestone pavers where the crap is growing everywhere all of a sudden. =(. Do they come out clear colored?
Question.... since your yard was about 5000 ssquare feet. And the bottle covers 5000 sq ft. Was the your bottle empty at the end of application? Because my front yard is the same footage and after an even spray I still had half the bottle left.. thanks
Great comparison!
Evergreen Cottage
Thanks!
How were each applications on the grass? I bought the Orthos and used it on areas of my nutsedge growth but it harmed my blue grass as well.
Nice job, friend! Can I borrow your leftovers? haha. I'm about to make a sedge video as well. It's going crazy in the gardens.
Jimmy Lewis
I have some in my flower beds also. Annoying stuff!!
@@TheLawnToolsYeah its terrible. I've never seen it so out of control before at my place. Thankfully, there is very little in the grass.
Jimmy Lewis
Well that’s good! Sounds like you are out to get it before it spreads! 👍🏼
Thanks for the comparison 👵👍
Grace Ortiz
You are certainty welcome! (See what I did there? 😜)
I’ve had good results with the Ortho product
Bermuda?
"Picture this" app on your phone is really handy for this. Uses camera to identify all vegetation
Ortho nutsedge killer also kills Goosegrass but it’s not listen on the label
You know they are going to work. The question is will it come back?? It has always come back for the years I have been using Sedgehammer and I have to treat multiple times every summer. Can you test that?
Jeanne Haggard
Sitting in my back yard right now and the only of these sections that seems to have come back is the ortho hose end one. So that one worked faster but doesn’t seem to last as long. Maybe the other spots will come back later in the summer. Only time will tell
Thanks for this great video. I treated part of my backyard with the Image hose-end nutsedge sprayer and the Bermuda grass got pretty brown. I'm hoping it comes back. I have more in the front yard and will try Ortho, based on your results. It doesn't look like any of the products yellowed your grass. Was it Bermuda?
I used the Image in a sprayer with a surfactant and a dye and it didn't kill anything--yes the doses were correct... then I used Sedgehammer and it worked great... cost more than the other products but did the job without harming the bermuda in the backyard nor the fescue in the fronts.
Tha is for the information buddy 👍
ONE WAY LAWN SERVICE
You betcha!
How does this stuff affect pets? I’d rather not have to dig this weed up but would do that rather than hurt my dogs.
How old is your sod at this point ? I have 2 month old Zorra Zoysai and am a bit worried the Orthos is going to kill it.
I was a year old when this video was made
@@TheLawnTools Thanks man! I am worried sick about frying my new grass lol
Dear,what is the generic name of the herbicide to kill nutsedge????
Great video. Thank you. How sensitive was your lawn to the herbicides? Can I safely spray Bermuda or St. Augustine?
Page Nix
I didn’t have any problem with any of these products discoloring my lawn. I have bermuda
@@TheLawnTools Thanks! I went with the Ortho and within 24 hours I could see my nutsedge getting sick. Within 4 days it was clear that it was all dying and my Bermuda turf didn't seem adversely affected. My only complaint with this product is it's impossible to know how much of the product is left since the water from the hose fills the bottle. I basically just had to spray until I thought I'd hit 5,000 sq ft. I'm pretty sure I ran out since the last patch of nutsedge didn't seem to die as fast as the rest.
Also I'm curious about your lawn. It is so short. Is it Tiff Bermuda? I have the run-of-the-mill Bermuda and there is no way I could cut it that short.
Page Nix
I have Tifway 419. However, there is some common Bermuda in my front yard that does pretty well at 0.5”. It’s frustrating 😂
Mystery weed could be Star of Bethlehem. Looks similar to wild onions and wild garlic.
Average Joe Hot Rod Show
Hmmmm, I looked up pictures and some look similar but others don’t. And I’ve never seen it flower but I didn’t take the time to see if flowering is seasonal 🤷🏼♂️. Thanks for the input. I may send a pic in to a pro somewhere.
The Lawn Tools no problem. I’ve been fighting it in my yard myself. It’s awfully stubborn.
Average Joe Hot Rod Show
Well whatever this stuff is crumbled pretty easily to all these sedge killers so if it looks the same, may be worth a shot??? 🤷🏼♂️
The Lawn Tools the top dies off pretty easy with SoB but it has a nasty habit of coming back next year because the bulbs survive. Hopefully ya got it though.
Average Joe Hot Rod Show
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
the dancing would kill nutsedge.
So 8,000sqft at the 1.25 rate is 4 large scoops?
If you mow first then test, all three products work faster, better, and smarter. The above ground stems are the problem in this video. Mow and then spray. You are trying to kill the rhizomes, down in the soil. Not the vegetation above ground. You are welcome.
I spayed before mowing how soon can I mow now and still kill roots I used Image
What kind of grass do you have? How low do you cut it? What kind of mower is that? How often do you water lawn?
The ortho appears to have scorched my zoysia a bit too
How soon can you mow after spraying with Image
I would have to read the label. It has been a while
Great Vid. Thanks!!
Did ortho kill your grass?
Surprised u blanket sprayed image,contains sulfentrazone which often discolors the non-target grass
Samuel Asamoah
I was kind of testing that between the 3 products also but I saw no discoloration from any of them 🤷🏼♂️
@@TheLawnTools really and uve got bermuda?
Samuel Asamoah
Yep!
@@TheLawnTools interesting,then i'd get image since it works faster....but can certainty be sprayed on greens to zap some nutsedge?
Samuel Asamoah
Ortho worked the fastest. I don’t know about greens...
Will this work around roses?
Is that other stuff dalis grass? 🤷🏻♂️
Do they go all the way down to the roots and kill the attached nutlings?
Nutsedge has been a crazy ongoing battle for me but others have told me that they feel the products that work faster, don’t last as long so you can take that for what it’s worth
@@TheLawnTools thanks. It pops up faster than I can pull it out, LOL. I'll try the Ortho first. Thanks again!
Nutsedge is the scourge of my lawn. Ortho seemed to do the trick, but it keeps raising its ugly head following year, so you gotta stay on it. After nuclear war, nutsedge & roaches will rule.
You should just "Dismiss" this video!😂😂😜😜
Is there a reason to not use sedge hammer?
I've had good success with sedge hammer. Using it around my yard pretty soon here.
