Leaf Spot/Not Leaf Spot


Peanut Peg Strength
Bob Kemerait says, “Several questions about using Topsin late in season to improve “peg strength” in peanuts. Bottom line from me: To manage peg strength in peanuts: 1. Effectively manage leaf spot; use of Topsin is one way to do that. 2. Dig peanuts “on time” as delayed harvest will increase risk to pod loss at digging. 3. Effectively manage white mold which may also effect peg strength. 4. Topsin can be used effectively late season for leaf spot control (5 fl is + 1 pt chlorothalonil OR 10 fl oz Topsin one time only) but there is nothing magic about Topsin and peg strength.”
