Replanting Peanuts Peanut Notes No. 88 2024

(Updated: May 31, 2024, 5:42 a.m.)

Question:

Would you replant peanut with a stand of 2 to 2.5 plants per foot at this date? Fairly uniform stand.

Jordan:

Yes, my rule of thumb is plant if 2 or less. Don’t plant if 3 or more. 2.5 is a mystery but the gaps are the issue at that density.

*Apply insecticide for thrips and inoculant for nitrogen fixation if you replant.
