Thus, 16 oz\/A costs $10.00\/A. If a grower wants to make his\/her own Storm, the equivalent mix would be Ultra Blazer @ 11 oz\/A ($4.38\/A) + Basagran @ 11 oz\/A ($3.87\/A). However, if a grower was going to mix his\/her Storm, I would prefer the mixture to be Ultra Blazer @ 16 oz\/A ($6.38\/A) + Basagran @ 8 oz\/A ($2.81\/A). But, this mix would be slightly hotter and more effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few things to share with growers based upon my phone calls and field observations:&nbsp; 1) I am getting the feeling that many peanut growers are blindly applying EPOST or &#8220;cracking&#8221; sprays of paraquat without first walking their fields.&nbsp; From my field plots earlier today, Figure 1 is a picture of a non-treated check (NTC) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":276,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-peanuts","category-weed-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/276"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1040"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1045,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040\/revisions\/1045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
