Green kyllinga,
Kyllinga brevifolia, is a common weed of turfgrasses in the
coastal plain of the southeastern United States (from Virginia to
Texas) and in California. It is a short, mat-forming sedge that
inhabits moist areas, particularly in golf and sports turf, as well
as occasionally lawns. It spread by seed as well as the brownish
rhizomes. In the warm growing months it produces numerous globular
heads. Because green kyllinga is so dense, once it gets established
it is one of the few weeds that can eliminate bermudagrass.
Two herbicides which have commonly been used to control green kyllinga
(depending on the species of turf and the site) are Manage and Image. |
