This update discusses innovative weed control methods in peanuts, focusing on the 2009 labeling of Fusilade, its comparisons to other herbicides like Poast and Select, and efficacy against grass weeds such as Bermudagrass and crabgrass. It delves into peanut yield responses to Reflex and Valor applications and emphasizes the importance of starting with a clean field and using residual herbicides. With insights on pigweed control, application timing, and the impacts of water volume on peanut injury, this guide provides essential strategies for effective weed management.

Fusilade in Peanuts • Finally Labeled in 2009 • How does it compare to Poast (P) or Select (S)??? • Grass Weeds • Bermudagrass (F=S>P) • B. signalgrass (P=S>F) • Goosegrass (F=P=S) • TX panicum (P=S>F) • Crabgrass (P=S>F) • Bristly starbur control?

Pigweed Control is not impossible!!!!! Somewhere in SW Georgia September 2009
Prostko’s Picks for Pigweed • Irrigated or Dryland! • Start Clean! • Use a residual! • POST treatments when 3” tall or less • Remove escapes before seed production • Think About the Future
