  1. Adjusting Herbicide Programs to Emerging Weed Problems in Peanut Eric P. Prostko Extension Weed Specialist University of Georgia

  2. Why do “new” weed problems occur? • reliance on herbicides • decreases in cultivation • ecological shifts • herbicide resistance

  3. New or Unique Weed Problems in Peanuts • tropic croton • dayflower/spider-wort • eclipta • copperleaf • spiderflower • redweed • ALS-resistant pigweed

  4. Tropic Croton (Croton glandulosus) • 3rd most troublesome weed • Cadre is weak • not as competitive as other weeds • PRE - Valor or Strongarm • POST - Ultra Blazer • Cadre/Blazer tank/mixes???

  5. Dayflower/Spiderwort (Commelina spp.) Asiatic • Berrien, Brooks, Grady, Thomas • limited data • Roundup is weak • PRE - Dual (timing) • POST - Basagran • others???? spreading spiderwort

  6. Tropical spiderwort, Cairo, GA, 2001

  7. 8 7.6 6 Plants/ft2 4 2 2.2 0 Dual No Dual Residual Spiderwort Control in Peanuts with Dual Magnum, Brooks County, GA a b Dual Magnum @ 1 pt/A Applied: July 2, 2001 Rated: August 1, 2001

  8. Eclipta (Eclipta prostrata) • low, moist areas • limited biology data • PRE - Strongarm, Valor, Dual, Outlook • POST - Basagran, Storm, Tough • timing is critical

  9. 100 80 60 2" or less Control (%) 3-5" 40 20 0 Storm Cadre Blazer Tough 2,4-DB Basagran Herbicide Eclipta Control in Peanuts with POST Herbicides Grichar, 1997

  10. Hophornbeam Copperleaf (Acalypha ostryifolia) • Randolph, Terrell • limited biology data • PRE - Valor or Strongarm • POST - Ultra Blazer, Storm

  11. Hophornbeam Copperleaf ControlRandolph County, GA - 2001 Untreated Strongarm Valor 6 WAT

  12. Spiderflower (Cleome spp.) • Laurens County • limited data • PRE - Pursuit • POST - Pursuit, Cadre, Ultra Blazer (bloom stage)

  13. Redweed (Melochia corchorifolia) • low, moist areas • hard seed coat • season long germination • PRE - Strongarm, Valor, Zorial • POST - Basagran, Storm, Cadre

  14. ALS-Resistant Palmer Pigweed • Burke County • 2001 • do not use Cadre, Pursuit, Classic, Strongarm • Prowl, Sonalan, Dual, Valor, Ultra Blazer, Storm

  15. Summary • Newer soil applied herbicides will help control some of the unique weed problems. • Combinations of PRE and POST treatments will provide consistent control. • Need more information about biology and competitiveness of newer weed problems in order to make better control decisions.
