Peanut Bight Found Here
By R.M. Thompson '
Sclerotinia Blight on
peanuts for the past several
years has been a real
probtam in Virginia and has
gradually moved into North
Carolina. We have found
some of it in Chowan County
this year for the first time it
has been identified. It has a
cottony, white mold with
black seed spores.
Following are recom
mendations for this disease:
1. Apply Botran 75W with
8006 or 8010 LP nozzles (one
row) at or just below leaf
canopy height. Spray must
reach the soil surface and
cover all tissue in close
proximity with the soil.
Consequently, large
droplets rather than a mist
will be necessary to get the
chemical to the soil surface
and also»get thorough
coverage of all plant tissue.
Adjust tractor speed and
spray pressure so you
deliver 30 or more gallons of
water per acre. Be sure to
adjust volume for 36-inch
nozzle spacing instead of 20-
inch spacing as shown in
most spray charts.
2. Botran 75W can be
applied from mid-July
through September,
depending on weather
conditions and the presence
of infestation. Therefore,
apply Botran 75W when
disease first appears in each
field. Fields with prior
history of Might may be
sprayed when disease first
appears in your locale. (We
will keep your county
agricultural agent ap
praised of the disease
situation.)
3. Applications prior to
August 15 should be made at
the rate of 2.5 lbs. of product
(Botran 75W) per acre. This
