Dicamba Injury on Peanut - 2025 Dicamba Applied: April 5 Peanut Planted: April 29 24 days after applicaton No rain from application until 0.6” day after planting. Only 25% peanut emergence Dicamba is not labeled for preplant use in peanut! If it was (but never will be): 0.50 lb ae/A = 28 days + 1” irrigation/ rainfall 0.25 lb ae/A = 14 days + 1” irrigation/ rainfall J. Odom May 12, 2025
Peanut Injury? Roundup or Atrazine or K Deficiency or B Toxicity? Roundup and Atrazine tests were negative? Sampled too late??? Potassium (K) in leaf tissue was 3.85% sufficiency range = 1.70-3.00% Boron (B) was very high in leaf tissue analysis (174 ppm) sufficiency range = 20-60 ppm B toxicity in peanut tissue is likely when B concentration exceeds 100 ppm. Grower applied 1 qt/A of B (10%) in 2nd and 4th fungicide sprays. T. Price Cook Co. 09/18/25
