wink Killing off Nutsedge.

I have a yard that I did some grade work on and the owner wanted a native Buffalo Grass seeded ( Buchloe Dactyloides). I did the grade work and seeded the grass. Well the Grass is coming up fine, but I also have this "Nutsedge" coming up out of the dirt that was brought in also. I am wanting to know if there is anything that I can use to kill off this Nutsedge that will not kill off the buffalo grass? The Buffalo grass is not a very aggressive grass, so it will not choke out the sedge on it's own. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
Thanks

No, I don't spray, I usually just do Hardscapes and water gardens. This was a project that I told the owner when I started that I don't do very many seed jobs, but they wanted me to do it anyway. The said they would take care of getting the weeds killed out, but thats not the type of business man I am. I told them I would do something, and I will make it look right and Good before I say it is finished. I have some friends that do spraying, I'll contact them.

Thanks

Manage is now sold under the name SedgeHammer and works great.
