Abstract

Over 50% of U.S. peanut production can be credited to Georgia. The growing season for peanut can extend up to 150 days, making it essential to manage weeds in such a manner to achieve maximum yield potential. This includes applications of PRE herbicides. Numerous PRE herbicides are registered for peanut production including pendimethalin, diclosulam, and flumioxazin. Emerging peanut will inevitably contact these PRE applied herbicides. It has been noted by numerous peanut growers across Georgia that in unfavorable weather conditions at peanut emergence, flumioxazin has potential to cause injury. As over 65% of U.S. peanut growers use flumioxazin, studies were performed to quantify the effects of flumioxazin applied directly to peanut seed, as well as, its effects on emerging peanut plants. Though injury was noted, it was transient across the growing season and yield was unaffected. Peanut germination was also unaffected at rates mimicking soil concentrations of flumioxazin.
