Paraquat Mixtures Peanut Notes No. 106 2026

Palmer amaranth in peanuts

Question:

Can you tank mix paraquat at 8 oz/ac with Butyrac at 16 oz/ac? Any antagonism there?

Jordan:

I’ve not looked at that. I would save the 2,4-DB for later in the season. I would apply Basagran and a Group 15 residual with paraquat. Check time after emergence. Might be time to shift to Ultra Blazer or Storm, both applied with 2,4-DB.

Follow Up:

Got it, thanks. Think it’s still in the 28 DAE window but fighting some taller weeds. How about a paraquat and Select in a tank mix?

Jordan:

Clethodim will not work well. Worse than the reduction you get from Ultra Blazer or Cobra. If the weeds are relatively large, even though you are still within the 28-day limit, need to switch from paraquat to PPO systems.
