Sclerotinia Blight Advisory Peanut Notes No. 175 2024

Recent rains and cooler temperatures over the weekend have increased the risk for Sclerotinia blight. If you have fields with a history of this disease, the forecast system can help you decide if a fungicide spray for this disease should be applied. In recent years, Miravis plus Elatus has been effective in suppressing this disease. In fields with heavy pressure, two applications have been shown to be more effective than a single application. There are other options for this disease. However, the Miravis plus Elatus program provides protection against leaf spot, stem rot, and Sclerotinia blight. LeAnn can help you walk through specifics of various options given your field histories.
