Atticus Empero Nutsedge Killer (1.33 oz) Halosulfuron-Methyl 75% Turf Herbicide - Kills Nut Grass in Established Lawns, Ornamental Turfgrass, & Landscape Areas

Does kill nutsedge, I hit it early as it comes up and repeat a couple times as I search for beer sprouts. Does not seem to hurt centepede grass. It’s a little slow to die but it does work. Add Dawn or other dish soap so it will stick to the leaves and not roll off.

Works, be patient. I applied it last season. It took a couple of weeks to take effect. It basically stopped it from growing and spreading. Kind of slowly turned it yellow. This year there is not a hint of the stuff in my lawn and it was everywhere. Follow the instructions and need to be patient.

As described it takes about two weeks to start to see results but for the first time in many years I believe it will help me get rid of the Nutsedge on my property.

Product works but at first experience, not as effective as original Sedgehammer. From my experience of using Empero 1 year, you need to double the quantity, so 2 level scoops of the provided scooper per 1 gallon water. You need to add 2 teaspoons of dish soap for product to stick. Avoid rain and watering 6 hours prior to applying and 18 hours after. Best time to apply is evening when sun is not at peak to allow product to penetrate and not evaporate. Results are visible 5 days after applying. Do not mow for 4 days after applying. Follow these instructions and you'll thank me for what I learned the hard way. Removing 1 star as product does not work as per provided instructions.

Worked as described. I made sure I followed the mix as written. I was concerned at the time it took for the results but I am impatient when waiting.

IT works great

Worth it. Used in a gallon sprayer. Dissolved easily with swirling/sitting with a smaller amount of water then filling it up. Had multiple nutsedge taking over the yard and at least 90% died first application (certain it was missed application). Other weeds not intentionally targeted died as well. I mowed grass shorter than usual first to ensure application made it to the ground.

I had never heard of Nutsedge until this spring after moving into a new neighborhood last November. When mowing season came around, I noticed something in the yard that looked like grass but grew very quickly… Nutsedge. Three days after mowing, it would be 2 or 3 inches higher than the surrounding turfgrass. It was also growing in the pine needles around my shrubbery and in my monkey grass. I began pulling it out of the shrubbery beds. After about a month of this, I saw on a YouTube video that this was actually Nutsedge, and that pulling it was an absolute ‘no-no’ because it comes back with a vengeance. Empero is designed to kill Nutsedge. It’s a knock-off of SedgeHammer, has the same chemical make-up and is a little cheaper. It worked well for me on the Nutsedge, but I was careful to use it as instructed by the YouTube videos I found. The videos cautioned that it would not be effective unless used properly. I waited several days after mowing so I could identify the Nutsedge since it had grown taller than the surrounding grass. I used a pump-up tank sprayer to spot-treat where needed. After spraying, do not mow again for at least 2 days… I waited 3 or 4. According to the instructions, Empero is rainproof after 4 hours. It takes about 4 days, but the Nutsedge will slowly begin turning yellow and stop growing. It will eventually die but may take 4 or 5 weeks after spraying. The Empero did not damage my turfgrass or the Monkey grass in my shrubbery beds. I followed the mixing directions of 0.9 grams per gallon of water and added a little dishwashing liquid as a surfactant. Mixing as directed, the 1.33 ounce bottle will make about 40 gallons of solution. After adding the chemical to the water, I used a paint mixer attached to a drill and stirred the solution for 2 minutes to dissolve the granules. I used almost the entire bottle spot-treating one acre of grass. The included pic shows the Nutsedge (which has turned yellow) 7 days after treatment and 3 days after mowing. I had good success with this product and would not hesitate to use it again.
