<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe first two pictures this morning are of early planted peanuts in central Georgia. In the first two are leaves with a typical burn along the margins consistent with use of Thimet. (Such is also evident in pic 4 sent to me a year ago by Rome in Seminole Co). \u201cThimet burn\u201d is cosmetic only and is \u201cproof\u201d that the product is at work in the plant reducing risk to tomato spotted wilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pic 3 is from the same field as are pics 1 and 2. My concern here is that the stand appears \u201cskippy\u201d and \u201cskippy stands\u201d, especially so early in the season, really predispose the crop to tomato spotted wilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skippy stands can occur for a number of reasons, but in my world of \u201cplant diseases\u201d, the reasons are most often seed rot (poor quality seed and\/or ineffective seed treatment) and seedling diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next pic is from Jeremy in Colquitt Co and are examples of typical seedling diseases of peanut. \u00a0In pic 5 note the deep sunken lesions girdling the peanut stem just below the soil line. Such lesions are indications of Rhizoctonia seedling disease which is more common in wetter soils. \u00a0Azoxystrobin in-furrow helps with this.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In pic note the dark sooty sporulation where the lower stem has been eaten away. \u00a0This is Aspergillus niger causing Aspergillus crown rot. \u00a0Trebuset and Rancona seed treatments help with this, as does the fluopyram found in Velum and Propulse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, in this pic is both Aspergillus crown rot (note the dark sporulation) AND early season white mold developing (note the ropey white fungal growth along the taproot). While I do not recall the exact details as Jeremy sent this last year, the presence of both crown rot and white mold is indicative of warm soils.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m grateful that at least some growers along the Coastal Plain of Georgia received rain this past weekend, a \u201cmillion dollar rain\u201d according to my friend and colleague Dr Camp Hand.
