Collapse ▲Question:
Working on peanut rotations for 2025. Have a couple of farms that was tobacco in 2024. Could go with peanuts behind tobacco but have heard that it’s not ideal. That just came from street talk so I don’t know if it has any merit to it. Also have couple of places that was cotton or corn in 24, beans in 23, cotton or corn in 22 and 21. Can go with either one of these scenarios just didn’t know if you all favored one or the other.
Jordan:
Great questions. I have attached two slides I use in class on campus. 2025 Peanut Information also has some of the same information. I am also going to mention rotations at the meeting next week in Hertford County. My concern right after tobacco is some of the pathogens and possibly high levels of potassium remaining in the soil from applications to tobacco. The high levels of K can affect calcium nutrition in peanut. Soybeans are not great based on some pathogens and nematodes. But at the end of the day, I think your rotation of corn/cotton then corn/cotton then soybean then corn/cotton is better than going right after tobacco. Of course, if you fumigated tobacco you likely cut down on nematode populations. Then tobacco might be more attractive if you can distribute any K throughout the soil profile and use a normal rate of gypsum. If you did not fumigate tobacco land, I would take a chance on the soybean rotation. The best fields for peanuts would be the fields with more cotton in them. Hope this helps.
And street talk needs to be considered. Many times it points to a truth about something.

Here’s an article about tobacco in a peanut rotation:

I was reading this article:
https://peanut.ces.ncsu.edu/2022/03/excessive-potassium-peanut-notes-no-42-2022/
What would be considered an excessive K indexes following tobacco?
Jordan:
We don’t have a good number. Interactions of gypsum, calcium, K and rainfall make this difficult to predict. We just know that crops with high demands for K prior to peanuts can create some risk. But risk is not well defined.
