Piggy backing off the title "Weed ID"
Anyone know what this is, or how to kill it. It's a lighter green than my lawn, and 24 hrs after mowing it is twice the height. I have patches of about 3 foot square (9sq.ft.), also scattered single plants (as pictured).

Look at it from the top. Does it look triangular? If so that's a sledge. Don't pull it since it will come back. Go to HD/Lowe's and get a weed product that treats nutsledge (I think round up for lawns or a spectracide brand). It will say it in the label.

Hand brush it with glyphosate and be done with it.

If you have anything with fluazifop (ornamec, ornamec Over the Top, or Fusillade II), you could try those.
Those aren't labelled for use on lawns, just beds.

This isn't labelled for home lawns but businesses, schools, parks are all ok. I think they don't want the homeowner using it, not that it isn't labelled for use in a lawn.

My mistake, I didn't know there were safe grass types to use it on.

But still - it's not a good recommendation since it only says it's safe to use on TTTF and Zoysia. OP's lawn has kbg in it, per his info.

:nod: I didn't read his grass type. I read someone else using it on KBG at reduced rates but user beware...

Looks like nutsedge as already mentioned. Sulfentrazone already mixed and available at big box retailers, or a packet of halosufuron you pick up at a garden center and mix it in a hand sprayer. Both work pretty well.
