Abstract

Field studies at three sites in Georgia evaluated broadleaf weed and nutsedge management in peanut with PPI applications of imazethapyr and metolachlor and POST applications of paraquat in mixture with imazethapyr or bentazon. Imazethapyr at 36 g ai/ha applied PPI alone or in mixture with metolachlor at 2750 g ai/ha controlled coffee senna; entireleaf, ivyleaf, pitted, smallflower, and tall morningglories; bristly starbur; and prickly sida better than metolachlor applied PPI. Yellow nutsedge control was generally higher where metolachlor was applied PPI. Postemergence control of the aforementioned species and sicklepod was similar with paraquat plus imazethapyr and paraquat plus bentazon. Peanut yields with paraquat plus imazethapyr and paraquat plus bentazon were similar. With one exception, peanut yields from imazethapyr PPI systems were higher than metolachlor PPI systems when POST herbicides were not used. Inclusion of metolachlor with PPI application of imazethapyr increased yields only at one location.
