2. OBJECTIVE
Determine pepper tolerance to Sandea applied precision-directed, topical, or under plastic.

3. Treatments Under plastic
0.5, 0.75, 1.0 ounces Sandea per Acre
4 replications per treatment
* All Treatments Contained 0.25% NIS by Volume

4. Treatments Over-the-Top and Directed
0.5 ounces Sandea per Acre
4 replications per treatment
* All Treatments Contained 0.25% NIS by Volume

5. Application Information
Plots = 6 ft. by 15 ft.
20 or 14.8 GPA spray solution
Directed treatments precision applied to lower 25% of plant canopy
Injury ratings measured
Three harvest dates

18. Conclusions
Pepper tolerance to topical Sandea applications is unacceptable.
Directed applications most likely unacceptable.
Additional research focusing on Sandea under plastic is needed but tolerance and nutsedge control is questionable.
