Pepper Response to Sandea A. Stanley Culpepper Keith Rucker And Tim Flanders The University of Georgia
OBJECTIVE Determine pepper tolerance to Sandea applied precision-directed, topical, or under plastic.
TreatmentsUnder plastic • 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 ounces Sandea per Acre • 4 replications per treatment * All Treatments Contained 0.25% NIS by Volume
TreatmentsOver-the-Top and Directed • 0.5 ounces Sandea per Acre • 4 replications per treatment * All Treatments Contained 0.25% NIS by Volume
Application Information • Plots = 6 ft. by 15 ft. • 20 or 14.8 GPA spray solution • Directed treatments precision applied to lower 25% of plant canopy • Injury ratings measured • Three harvest dates

Conclusions • Pepper tolerance to topical Sandea applications is unacceptable. • Directed applications most likely unacceptable. • Additional research focusing on Sandea under plastic is needed but tolerance and nutsedge control is questionable.
