2. I'm not fimiliar with buffalo grass... but : This address has a article on Nut Grass control in lawn,landscape and Garden. http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/L-9.pdf Hope it helps...
3. there is a product on the market called either manage or image, that is the only thing I've had any luck with. you have to treat nut grass at least two times. the first application stings it alittle, it will began to turn brownish yellow then apply it again. the stuff ain't cheap. but its the only way i know to control nut siege. don't pull the weed because every time you pull one up two or three will grow back in its place. it comes in a box alittle larger than a cd container and has a picture of a singe nut grass weed the box is white with the green picture in the center. mixing instructions are inside box. i cant remember if its called manage or image but its one of those.

5. There is a product called "eptam". It's expensive so I only use it in flower beds. My lawn is St. Augustine, and if it's healthy and well watered, it will choke out the nut grass. Good luck.....the emptam works but it's expensive to treat an entire lawn.
