  5. Research Questions? Can coarse droplet producing nozzles be used for weed control in peanut? acifluorfen, bentazon, lactofen, paraquat UGA small plot research has been very positive but what about on-farm?

  14. Droplet Size Comparison
  15. Grower and County Extension Agent (CEA) Farm-Scale Observations with TTI60 Nozzle 105 acre peanut field planted on 5/22/2017 All peanut herbicides, except Valor, were applied by grower with JD-R4030 sprayer using either the XRC-11005VP or TTI60-11005VP nozzle tips. Prowl (5/21/2017) Cadre + Dual Magnum + Bravo (6/15/2017) General Comments/Observations: Grower and CEA were very pleased with performance. Would like to be able to use TTI60 for everything? 6179 lb/A peanut yield (4380 lb/A state average)
  16. Small Plot Study - 2017
  17. Materials and Methods Non-Crop Study - 2017 Ponder Research Farm – Ty Ty, GA 3 X 4 factorial in RCB design 3 nozzle types: DG11002, TTI60-11002, TADF02-D 4 herbicide treatments: 1. Gramoxone (12 oz) + Storm (16 oz) + Dual Magnum (16 oz) 2. Cadre (4 oz) + 2,4-DB (18 oz) + Dual Magnum (16 oz) 3. Cobra (12.5 oz) + 2,4-DB (18 oz) + Dual Magnum (16 oz) 4. Arrow (8 oz) + COC (1% v/v) 4 replications Application equipment: CO2-powered backpack sprayer, 15 GPA, 38 PSI, 3.5 MPH, 20” spacing, 20” boom height, 7:30 AM.
  18. 2017 Small Plot Nozzle Test (DG11002, TTI60-11002, TADF02-D)
  19. Results – 14 DAT No interactions between nozzle type and treatment were observed (P > 0.25). Only main effects are presented.
  20. Nozzle Type and Herbicide Treatment Effects on Palmer Amaranth Control (14 DAT)
  21. Nozzle Type and Herbicide Treatment Effects on Annual Grass Control (14 DAT)
  22. Gramoxone + Storm + Dual Magnum – 14 DAT DG11002 TADF02-D TTI60-11002 NTC
  23. Summary When applied with commercial sprayer (JD R4030): TTI60-11005VP better coverage and larger droplets (514 microns, XC) than XRC-11005VP (302 microns, M) Grower would like to be able to use TTI60 for every pesticide application? Entomologists and plant pathologists need to get off their tails! Small Plot Results: No interaction between nozzle type and treatment. When averaged over herbicide treatments: nozzle type had no effect on Palmer amaranth control. TADF02-D provided 4% less grass control than DG11002
