Annoying trends in strip-tillage weed control in peanut: what are our options?

Controlling Texas panicum in peanut has been tr ouble­ some to gr owers attempting to implement strip-tillage production practices. Studies werfr om 1999 to 2001 in Georgia to develop Texas panicum manage­ ment systems in strip-tillage peanut pr oduction. The experimental design was a split-plot with four replica­ tions. Main plots wer e preemergence (PRE) herbicides for annual grass contr ol; ethalfluralin (Sonalan®) (0.75 lbs a.i. acr e-1), pendimethalin (Pr owl®)(1.0 lbs a.i. acr e­ 1), metolachlor (Dual®) (2.0 lbs a.i. acr e-1), alachlor (Lasso Microtech®) (3.0 lbs a.i. acr e-1), dimethenamid
