For a Food Plot you can just ignore it. I have it everywhere on my place and can't get rid of it. Plant your plots around the end of October and you won't have much problem with it. It does not grow from what I can tell from late fall through early spring. I disk and plant my plots in late October and NEVER have an issue with Nutgrass.

In row crops plant earlier in the Spring and it won't grow significantly if it is shaded out. I'm planting end of March and it seems the Nutgrass doesn't get going until end of April/May and by that time my crops are up and shading it out. That's not scientific but I spent thousands to try to get rid of it and couldn't and I don't see much if any difference in yields. I cultivate my rows in June with a high speed cultivator and don't have much issues.

That's what is working for me. If I wanted to act like it was a huge deal I certainly could but the numbers are what they are.... I can spray my profit all over the field trying to get rid of it in hurry.


Otherwise that crap is the devil my biggest problem is if I don't do the above and the Nutgrass comes up good... the hogs will get in the field and that's the end of my crop. I did not plant one field this year and the Nutgrass come out strong and it looks like someone's been shooting mortar rounds into it it's one big hole after another where the hogs have got in it.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
