Weed Control With POST Herbicides Peanut Notes No. 100 2019

Weed Control Question:

Either you have told me or someone has recently that you are not a fan of Storm mixed with Gramoxone anymore.  Is that correct?

Jordan answer:

Yes.  I think it is hotter than Gramoxone plus Basagran, most especially when mixed with residual herbicides.  I also like to save the PPO inhibitor for the next 2 POST sprays we often make.  I like Gramoxone about 2-3 weeks after planting for best results.  There is a lot of season left.  But it is used a lot down south and is really good on weeds.  I just seem to have smaller peanuts after I spray it with residuals.  And most folks are spraying residuals.  At 1 pint (acifluorfen or Ultra Blazer part of Storm) it is generally a sub-lethal rate and could possibly push us more quickly to PPO resistance.  But it is labeled.  Also, I have never been a fan of that mix.

Question:

So, Gramoxone + Basagran + Zidua you like?  And maybe the Zidua, if activated with rain in time, could cut out one of those post sprays?

Jordan answer:

Yes, that is possible.  Several residuals can be used but Zidua is a good one.
