Extract

In extensive experimental studies with peanuts in Georgia, satisfactory results have been obtained with the pre-emergence herbicide, sodium 2,4–dichlorophenoxyethyl sulfate (sesone) (3, 4). During the past 3 years, the use of sesone for weed control in peanuts has been generally satisfactory and its use as a general farm practice in Georgia has greatly increased. When emergence was poor and the sesone was being used for the first time, some growers were very ready to place the entire blame for poor stands on the herbicide, without considering that poor emergence could, as in the past, result from a variety of other causes.
