That’s what I just read. I had no idea they were doing that. I guess they will have to come up with something new.

Maybe I missed the sarc tag...but why would you spray insecticide on the thing? More likely need some stout concentration of glyphosate, or some other strong herbicide?

Plus you don’t have to wait a week for the plant to die!

This was not my own experience, this was an article in Science News. It has to do with genetically modified plants.

If you spray your yard with Roundup, it makes it easier to see and pull op the Nutsedge.
