Green Kylinga is a Problematic Perennial Sedge that Thrives in Warm, Moist Environments by Mario Villarino
June 4, 2024 – Green Kylinga (Kyllinga brevifolia) is a problematic perennial sedge that thrives in warm, moist environments, often invading lawns, gardens, and agricultural fields across Texas. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service provides extensive resources and strategies for managing this invasive weed, emphasizing a combination of cultural, mechanical, and chemical control methods to effectively combat its spread. Green Kylinga is characterized by its bright green, grass-like leaves and distinct cluster of spikelets at the end of its stems, forming a small, rounded seed head. It often grows in dense patches, which can outcompete desirable turfgrasses and other plants, leading to unsightly and unhealthy lawns and fields. Effective management of Green Kylinga starts with proper lawn care practices aimed at creating unfavorable conditions for its growth.
