Question:

What is the best way to control alligatorweed in peanuts?

Jordan:

Cadre is the only option we have. I know you may have rotation restrictions with your crops, but none of the other herbicides offer much if any control. I know it won’t help this year, but controlling this weed in the previous year, or earlier in the spring with glyphosate and synthetic auxins will really help.
