Is this Rush?

[Tap]

This stuff is on a friend's place in NW Pa and is taking over a pipe-line clover plot.
I've looked it up and I'm pretty certain it isn't sedge, but maybe in the rush family??
Any ideas what it is and how to fight it? They tried glyphosate and cleth...didn't work.
I think they would like to try to save the clover.
Thanks.
Sorry for the poor photo quality.

I would guess it to be some sort of sedge - some retailers have sedge specific chemicals that you can get in small quantities and try it and see if that has an affect on it. I don't really know what you have there.

Is Sedge hammer the preferred herbicide for sedges?

I have heard folks talk about it.....I have never used it.

I saw a product called Gordon's Trimec Nutsedge plus ......at my local Rural King that I though would do the trick......I have not investigated it much other than that. So PLEASE READ ANY LABEL BEFORE USING. I noticed it because of the small size - for a trial type situation. I'm sure some others will chime in as well.

Just checked the label to see if this is the same as sedgehammer...noticed it had 2-4d in it along with some other stuff...so I'm guessing it would smoke the clover.

Sedgehammer has Halosulfuron-methyl as the active ingredient.

I'm betting anything that will kill this stuff is gonna kill the clover, but I don't know that for sure...Lots of chemicals on the market these days.
The good news is he has a weed wiper so he can probably just hit the target weed.

I think I common rush in my food plots too, but its more sturdy and stands up more than your first picture. However, your final picture showing the seed heads does look like rush.

The latest thought is that it's Wool Grass, which is actually a sedge and not a grass.
The stem of this stuff is triangular. Does anything outside of the sedge family have triangular stems?

"Sedges have edges, rushes are round, grasses have knees that bend to the ground"

I am stealing that line stu!

Thanks stu.
So, am I correct in assuming that there are no other NON SEDGE plants with triangular stems?
And there are sedge herbicides that are safe on clover. Keystone sells one.
