11 4 of 125 populations with suspected resistance to PPO herbicides One population with possible resistance to glyphosate and herbicides that inhibit ALS, PPO, and HPPD

12 Weed Control in Peanut Overlapping residuals has been a component of success Intensive weed control early in the season is important Controlling weed escapes later in the season is just as expensive and less effective than upfront PPI/PRE herbicides Spraying large Palmer amaranth multiple times with PPO inhibitors later in the season most likely hastens development of resistant populations

13

14 Weed Control in Peanut Effective PPI and PRE herbicides need to be supported with early POST applications of Gramoxone plus Basagran with residual herbicides Warrant, Outlook, Zidua, or Dual materials are effective residual herbicides applied with Gramoxone plus Basagran

15 Thrips Control in Peanut Effective systemic in-furrow insecticides often need to be supported with early POST applications of acephate Warrant, Outlook, Zidua, or Dual materials are effective residual herbicides applied with Gramoxone plus Basagran These combinations are often applied with acephate for thrips and weed control

16

17 Current Knowledge of Co-Application for Thrips and Weed Control Many studies with Dual materials mixed with Gramoxone plus Basagran plus Acephate Some work with Outlook, but this herbicide is used less frequently Some work with mixtures of Warrant or Zidua mixed with Gramoxone plus Basagran plus Acephate

30 Injury from Southern Corn Rootworm Data are from 25 trials during Pod yield (lbs/acre) Yield loss threshold, about 25% scarring Non-treated Prevathon Lorsban

31 Pyrethroid resistance in corn earworm Presence of tobacco budworm Points to: Use of more effective but certainly more expensive chemistries to control the foliar-feeding insect complex
