4 of 125 populations with suspected resistance to PPO herbicides
Weed Control in Peanut Overlapping residuals Intensive weed control early in the season Take pressure off of POST sprays Greater MOA diversity
Weed Control in Peanut Gramoxone plus Basagran with residual herbicides Warrant, Outlook, Zidua, or Dual materials
Control of Thrips Control in Peanut Effective systemic in-furrow insecticides often need to be supported with early POST applications of acephate Warrant, Outlook, Zidua, or Dual materials are effective residual herbicides applied with Gramoxone plus Basagran These combinations are often applied with acephate for thrips and weed control
Peanuts can handle each of these alone but not together without significant yield reductions

Pyrethroid resistance in corn earworm Presence of tobacco budworm Points to: Use of more effective but certainly more expensive chemistries to control the foliar-feeding insect complex

Hang in there! Peanuts are important! Look how much soil that one plant is holding back! Or is it the water?
And some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers came across him as well and said, “What would this seed - pecking ditherer like to say?” David Bentley Hart, A Translation of the New Testament
