Ran across a statement in a magazine: "Yellow Nutsedge hosts a soil-dwelling bacteria that can destroy soil-borne nitrogen". Article unsigned and no references cited. I'm supposing that the purpose would be to limit or prevent other plants from growing nearby, and that perhaps the Nutsedge can exist on less nitrogen than most plants.
I have a patch of this Nutsedge in my garden growing among other weeds. Perhaps it is like Moss which will slowly colonize a piece of ground as the soil becomes too sterile for other plants? Would appreciate any comments or references to sites which might give me more info. Just find this so curious... josh
