My count was 1 caterpillar per 3ft of row and we need at least 4 caterpillars per row foot to trigger a spray. We&#8217;ll continue to watch for them over the next few weeks. The fields I looked at lead me to believe that they may have cycled out. I know that it&#8217;s hard to look at peanuts that have been chewed on but peanuts can take a pretty good lick this early in the game and not lose any yield potential. I have started to see some Tomato Spotted Wilt (TSWV) show up and more cases of crown rot. Most peanuts are due to start fungicide programs. I would consider some white mold protection with the first spray because we have some favorable conditions for early-season white mold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Tomato-Spotted-Wilt-Peanuts-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1499\" class=\"wp-image-1499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Tomato-Spotted-Wilt-Peanuts-03.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Tomato-Spotted-Wilt-Peanuts-03-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Stunted plant with circular motley spots and old thrip injury<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/tomato-spotted-wilt-peanuts-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1500\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/tomato-spotted-wilt-peanuts-04.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/?attachment_id=1500\" class=\"wp-image-1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/tomato-spotted-wilt-peanuts-04.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/tomato-spotted-wilt-peanuts-04-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Circular motley leaves from TSWV<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corn:<\/strong> Southern corn rust has been found in Tift County. If you have sprayed a fungicide within the past 3 weeks, I would monitor my fields. If you haven&#8217;t and depending on what stage the corn is at, I would start thinking about spraying. If southern rust hits your corn before the dough\/dent stage it can cause yield loss. Conditions are right for it to spread. In a matter of 5 days, it has popped up in Coffee, Colquitt, and now Tift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1496\" class=\"wp-image-1496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-4-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">SCR is only on the top side of the leaf<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"962\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1498\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-3-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/?attachment_id=1498\" class=\"wp-image-1498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-3-1.jpg 962w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-3-1-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2021\/06\/Southern-Corn-Rust-3-1-768x817.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">SCR spores, orange, and oblong shape<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cotton: <\/strong>Cotton is looking pretty good.
