ABSTRACT:
A biological method for either controlling or eliminating yellow nutsedge in agricultural fields is disclosed. An agricultural field which contains yellow nutsedge is inoculated with a sufficient amount of an effective strain of rust fungus Puccinia canaliculata and a carrier to an epidemic. As a result of reducing competition from the yellow nutsedge and inhibiting reproduction, the yellow nutsedge is either controlled or eliminated. Best results occur when the agricultural field is inoculated in the spring of the year. Application methods include: spraying, granular, irrigation, wind-carried, or air-dropped.
