2. U.S. Planted Acres – 2012 (X 1000) NASS June 29, 2012

3. The Peanut Weed Control Toolbox 19 active ingredients PPI/PRE Sonalan Prowl/Pendimax Dual Magnum/Generics Outlook/Propel Pursuit Spartan Charge Solicam Strongarm Valor POST Aim (Harvest Aid) Gramoxone Inteon/Firestorm/Parazone Basagran Ultra Blazer Cadre/Impose Classic Cobra Poast/Poast Plus Pursuit Select/Arrow/Trigger Storm 2,4-DB

4. tested under experimental MON 63410 capsule suspension formulation (micro-encapsulated) –3CS Acetochlor + safener = Harness or Surpass –First mention in literature was in 1970 (A new selective herbicide: MON 097, PROC NCWCC 25:56-59) Currently labeled for use in cotton, soybeans, field corn, grain sorghum MOA = 15 –Very long chain fatty acid inhibitor –Same MOA as metolachlor (Dual)

5. Microencapsulation small herbicide particles surrounded by polymer shell suspended in carrier

6. Warrant is not Lasso!!!!

7. Objective To evaluate the tolerance of peanut to various applications of Warrant (acetochlor) under weed-free conditions.

12. Influence of PPI Treatments on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864

13. Influence of PRE Treatments on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864 -7.2%

14. Influence of EPOST Treatments on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864

15. Influence of POST Treatments on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864 -7.2%, -8.1%

16. Influence of EPOST Gramoxone/ Storm on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864 -9.6%

17. Influence of POST Cadre Treatments on Peanut Yield (lbs/A) LSD (0.05) Ponder = 354 Plains = NS Rocky Mount = 748 Lewiston = 864 -9.7%
