Do I need to spray fungicides on my peanuts again? <\/em><\/strong> According to Dr. Bob, there are three different scenarios for peanut fungicide applications at the end of the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 weeks until harvest and \u201cclean\u201d?<\/em> I wouldn\u2019t spray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 3 weeks until harvest and spots from top to bottom and leaves dropping?<\/em> I wouldn\u2019t spray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 weeks until harvest and some spots low in the canopy, <\/em>I probably would spray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to use Ginstar on the cotton this year. What is the rate? <\/em><\/strong> The early, mid and late-season rates of Prep and Ginstar are shown in the slide below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see a lot of peanuts on the ground after I dig. How much yield am I losing? <\/em><\/strong> According to the Texas A and M Extension publication Field Estimate Technique for Peanut Yield<\/a>, <\/em>peanut yield can be estimated by counting XYZ pods per 1 foot of row length on 36\u201d rows. For example, at 90 pods per foot for runner peanuts: (Pods per 1 foot of row) X CF = 90 pods\/foot X 53.8 = 4842 lbs\/<\/strong>A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reference is the Clemson Extension publication Guide for Peanut Digger Setup and Operation<\/a>. If you would like to have a quick way to estimate losses then assume that each pod lost per row foot is equivalent to 40 lb\/ac in runner type peanuts and 60 lb\/ac in Virginia type peanuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Kichler, have the UGA Small Grain OVTs been released yet?<\/strong><\/em> <\/em><\/strong> Yes, the UGA Small Grain OVT’s are available here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When can I <\/b><\/em>apply harvest aids to my soybeans?<\/em><\/strong> I have received this question a couple of times this week. According to the soybean weed control section of the 2021 UGA Pest Management Handbook<\/a>, paraquat can be applied to soybeans based on the following instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeterminate Varieties: Apply when at least 65% of the seed pods have reached a mature brown color or when seed moisture is 30% or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Determinant Varieties: Apply when soybeans are fully mature (full pod development, 50% leaf drop, and the remaining leaves are yellow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mature cocklebur and drought stressed weeds are not adequately controlled by this treatment. Do not apply to immature soybeans. Add a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v\/v. May be ground or aerially applied.
Tank-mix with Aim if annual morningglories are also a problem (except smallflower).
Users of paraquat must be certified applicators and successfully complete an EPA approved paraquat training (https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pesticide-worker-safety\/paraquat-dichloride-training-certified-applicators<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
