It's nutsedge. In the Dallas area when it is taking over the lawns a
product called Image is recommended. It may be the same active
indgrediant as what is in Manage, I'm not sure. Image is a growth
retardent that works well on nutsedge after a couple of applications.
It will effect the look of the lawn grass, but where the nutsedge dies
out the lawn grass doesn't. Be sure to check with your area nursery
people to see how any product may effect the specific type of lawn
grass you may have.

If you have purple nutsedge ( deep south) image is definitely your
product.
If you have yellow nutsedge (further north) manage is your product


Neither are a very quick fix and both can produce significant damage
(yellowing) during the hot season. Early spring treatments and fall
before dormancy are less damaging. Unfortunately the "nuts", up to 18"
deep, help this noxious difficult to control weed thrive. Years of
treatments on infested imported soil have still not eliminated the
problem here.
