Question:

What’s your thoughts on fungicide for peanuts last week in September and possible 2-3 weeks from digging?

Jordan:

Leaf spot is not very active, but there is some rain in the forecast and temperatures are relatively warm for the next few days. Ilooked at the advisory for Gates and the LESD was Sep 7 and advisory suggested no spray. Temperatures will be in mid 70s after this week which would slow any leaf spot down. If you are not seeing any leaf spot in lower canopy, you should be okay not to spray. Of course, a chlorothalonil spray would be inexpensive insurance but I don’t think you will need it. My only minor concern is the forecast for possible rain for about the next week, starting later this week.
