\"Here's<\/a>
Here’s a peanut seed that has sprouted and just cracked the ground in the last couple of days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the last 2 weeks, there have been a lot of peanuts planted in our area.\u00a0 Many have cracked the ground like the one in the picture above.\u00a0 Some growers will be preparing for “burndown” sprays soon to help control early season weeds and put out more residual herbicide.<\/p>\n

One common “burndown” spray for peanuts that provides\u00a0broad spectrum\u00a0weed control is the combination of Gramoxone (paraquat) + Storm (bentazon + acifluorfen).\u00a0 Here are a few tips from the UGA Pest Control Handbook for this spray:<\/p>\n

1. Apply anytime up to 28 days after ground crack.<\/p>\n

2. Be sure to use\u00a0a nonionic surfactant with this spray at the rate of 0.25% v\/v, which means 1 quart of surfactant for every 100 gallons of spray solution.<\/p>\n

3. The success of “at-crack”\u00a0sprays can\u00a0be greatly improved by applying herbicides in a minimum of 15\u00a0gallons of water per acre, using flat fan nozzles, decreasing ground speed, and using lower spray pressures (~30 psi).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 You can add a residual herbicide to this spray such as Warrant,\u00a0Dual Magnum, or generic metolachlor.\u00a0 If you decide to add Dual Magnum or generic metolachlor, the use of nonionic surfactant is not<\/strong><\/span> recommended for this mixture.<\/p>\n
