“Cracking” Time Again on Peanuts (Prostko)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many peanut growers are in the field right now making “cracking” applications of paraquat (whether they really need it or not?<\/em>).  I always get tons of questions about product use rates.  Check out these pictures from earlier today.  These are rates I have been testing for years and they work pretty much all the time (when applied to small weeds 1″-3″<\/em>).  Higher rates and later applications, especially in dryland fields, can push a peanut plant’s paraquat tolerance to its limits.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few other thoughts:1) If grower wants to use the 3 lb\/gal formulation of paraquat (i.e. Helmquat or Gramoxone 3SL), the normal application rate in these tank-mixtures is 8 oz\/A (0.1875 lb ai\/A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) If a grower wants to use Basagran 4SL (bentazon) instead of Storm 4SL (bentazon + acifluorfen), I would suggest using 8 oz\/A of Basagran 4SL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) If a grower wants to make his own Storm, I would suggest the combination of Ultra Blazer 2SL @ 16 oz\/A + Basagran 4SL @ 8 oz\/A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) I am not a huge fan of using paraquat + Dual Magnum or any other Group 15 herbicide without some Basagran or Storm to cool it down some on the peanut plant.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) No adjuvants are needed when Dual Magnum or Outlook are used (i.e. oil-based formulations<\/em>) but NIS @ 0.25% v\/v (1 qt\/100 gallons) is suggested when using Anthem Flex, Warrant, or Zidua.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Do I use i.e. and\/or italics<\/em> too much???? (probably<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
