Weed and Thrips Questions Peanut Notes No. 98 2026

Paraquat symptoms on peanuts

Questions:
1. Peanuts 3-4 weeks out from Dual and Valor PRE. Clean today. But will need to spray for thrips. Should I add Zidua to the thrips material to extend residual?

2. Peanuts which were emerging during last week’s rains and have been burnt to the ground by Valor splash. Will they recover?

Jordan:

Zidua plus acephate should be okay. Getting more residual is always good to do.

I have injured peanuts badly from Valor or visited fields with the damage. I don’t recall a time when they did not recover reasonably well. It can take some time to get there.

We are recommending more Hemi than acephate due to resistance. Hemi should be compatible with Zidua.
