Likely 100% humidity. Temperature later today, temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s. Slight chance of rain. Perfect conditions for white mold, for peanut leaf spot, for areolate mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">if confirmed areolate mildew and more than 4 weeks to anticipated application of a defoliant, please at least consider use of a fungicide to protect yield. 2) azoxystrobin (Abound, Quadris, A-Frame, etc) has been \u201cfair-to-good\u201d for control of areolate mildew in the past. 3) where <strong>areolate mildew<\/strong> is a threat, <strong>azoxy products are not recommended<\/strong> but Miravis TOP product (not Miravis, they are different) and Priaxor are recommended. Should the grower focus on Miravis? Big NO. Should the grower focus on Azoxystrobin ? Even BIGGER NO. \u00a0Should the grower focus on MIRAVIS TOP or Priaxor? Yes. BIG YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UGA Weed Science Blog &#8211; Field Crops and Vegetables: Soybean Harvest Aids, Classic\/Florida Beggarweed\/Peanuts (Prostko) UGA Weed Science Blog &#8211; Field Crops and Vegetables: Palmer Amaranth, Drones, Drift, and Wild Poinsettia &#8211; Prostko End of Season \u2013 Cotton Irrigation Management | Extension Precision Ag and Irrigation Mid-August Peanut Insect Update | UGA Peanut Entomology Disease [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":562,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/562"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1636"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1637,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1636\/revisions\/1637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/benhillcoag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
