Peanut and Eclipta (Eclipta prostrata) Response to Flumioxazin

Abstract Research was conducted in North Carolina to determine peanut response to flumioxazin as influenced by rate and timing of application and cultivar. Delaying application of flumioxazin from 1 d after planting until peanut emergence increased injury regardless of rate. The Virginia market-type cultivar ‘NC-V 11’ was injured more by flumioxazin than the cultivars ‘Gregory’ or ‘Perry’. However, pod yield was not affected by flumioxazin even though significant injury was observed early in the season regardless of flumioxazin rate, application timing, or cultivar. Diclosulam was more effective than flumioxazin in controlling eclipta when these herbicides were applied PRE with metolachlor or following pendimethalin PPI. However, control by flumioxazin prevented yield loss when compared with metolachlor alone. Nomenclature: Diclosulam; flumioxazin; eclipta, Eclipta prostrata L.; peanut, Arachis hypogaea L., ‘Gregory’, ‘NC-V 11’, ‘Perry’.
