Spreading Dayflower(AKA Tropical Spiderwort) in Peanut .

Question: Can I use Basagran + Dual Magnum for Benghal dayflower/tropical spiderwort control in peanut and should I add a crop oil to this mixture?

Answer: Yes, Basagran 4LC @ 32 oz/A + Dual Magnum 7.62EC @ 16 oz/A is a very effective treatment for dayflower species.  Additional crop oil is not needed because the Dual Magnum is an EC (oil-based) formulation and has adjuvant-like properties.

Grazon injury in peanuts.
Grazon P+D injury in peanut. You’ll see this when a spray tank may have been used to spray Grazon prior to spraying peanuts, or when cows that consumed hay treated with Grazon have been grazed in field prior to peanuts. UGA has a good publication “Peanut Response to Grazon® P+D” on this topic
