Zinc and pH Question Peanut Notes No. 48 2025

Question:


Farmer is thinking of growing peanuts in sample 8. What do you think?


Jordan:

Based on my experience, a pH of 6.8 and zinc index of 531 should be okay for peanuts. When was this sample taken?

Answer:


Fall of last year

Jordan:


Okay, that is recent. pH this spring should be about the same. We do worry about hot spots, so assuming this sample is representative of the field, peanuts should be okay.
