Much of Georgia continues to get hammered with frequent rainfall events.  When will it end? Here are some answers to questions you might be getting: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) How much has it rained?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated rainfall totals from June 12-June 21, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) What’s my best peanut weed control recipe for a disaster field?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Apply Select 2EC (clethodim) @ 8-16 oz\/A + COC @ 1% v\/v then<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) 3 days after the Select application, apply the following combination:  Cadre @ 4 oz\/A + Cobra @ 12.5 oz\/A + 2,4-DB @ 16 oz\/A + any Group 15 herbicide (either Anthem Flex @ 3 oz\/A or Dual Magnum @ 16 oz\/A or Outlook @ 12.8 oz\/A or Warrant @ 48 oz\/A or Zidua SC @ 2.5 oz\/A).  Include NIS @ 0.25% v\/v when using Anthem Flex, Warrant, or Zidua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c) Costly for sure but desperate times require desperate measures! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Can I also add Strongarm to that mix?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I did that in 2022 to clean up a peanut field and observed no major problems. Check out the following pics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Is there a shortage of Cobra (lactofen)?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have heard from several growers that Cobra was not available.  I contacted my inside sources at Valent and this situation should be remedied.   A e-mail quote from my Valent contact yesterday: “Cobra being shipped this week so no excuses moving forward!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Can peanut herbicides be applied aerially by plane or drone?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answers is yes (but not Cadre. It does not have an aerial application label<\/strong>) but I have some concerns.  I have been conducting weed control research since 1987.  During this 36 year time frame, I have never applied herbicides in water volumes less than 10 GPA. Coverage, crop injury, and efficacy are my concerns.  There is a ton of work being conducted with drones but I have not seen a sufficient amount of replicated university data to confirm true weed control efficacy.  But in this current rainy situation, perhaps something is better than nothing??????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) What are the minimum labeled GPA requirements for aerial applications of peanut herbicides?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butyrac 200 (2,4-DB) = 5 GPA; Classic = 3 GPA; Cobra = 7 GPA; Gramoxone = 5 GPA; Select = 3 GPA; Storm = 5 GPA; Ultra Blazer = 5 GPA <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Is Classic still available for late-season Florida beggarweed control in peanuts?<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes! Check out page 224 in 2023 UGA Pest Control Handbook for updated information about peanut cultivar tolerance to Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Is Gramoxone (paraquat) still labeled for use in peanuts in a non-selective applicator such as a rope-wick or weed wiper? <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes!  Check out page 224 in 2023 UGA Pest Control Handbook. Gramoxone applied in this fashion is very effective on Palmer amaranth, Florida beggarweed, and sicklepod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
