Evaluation of Foliar Nutritional Supplements for Peanut
| Name | Jay W. Chapin | | Situation | Foliar nutritional supplements are aggressively marketed
for agronomic crops including peanut. These products typically
total about $20 - $30/ac/year; a substantial expense. | | Response | A comprehensive set of fertility recommendations were developed for peanut. Results of multi-year foliar nutrient testing program were presented to growers to make the case that only foliar application of
manganese and boron are justified. | | Impact | The credibility of the Clemson Extension peanut program reduces input costs by $20 per acre on at least 20,000 acres per year. This results in a minimum annual savings of at least $400,000. |
