Weeds in Peanuts Peanut Notes No. 89 2026

Wide range of weeds that can be found in peanut fields

This image includes some of our most troublesome weeds in peanuts. Best I can tell, there are eight different weeds (redroot pigweed, goosegrass, smartweed, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, carpetweed, spurred anoda, Texas panicum.) The image is from Lewiston, so I know the pigweed is not Palmer amaranth.

Common lambsquarters and smartweed are already too large for paraquat. Other weeds are rapidly approaching the size where paraquat is marginal.
