Chlorothalonil products are preventative only against leafspot and require excellent coverage.  The other products listed for leafspot control are locally systemic within the leaf and have some “curative” activity.

Alternated chemistry programs are recommended to protect against as many diseases as possible (both foliar and soil diseases); and more importantly, to prevent the development of resistance.  See example disease control programs in table below.

“Four-block” Folicur programs are susceptible to web blotch under irrigation.  This is another reason that alternated Abound/Folicur or Headline/Folicur programs are preferred.  See table below.

Do not use stickers or crop oil with Abound, Folicur or Headline.  The goal is to wash white mold fungicides into the soil.  Spray before irrigation or rain when possible.  Wait 24 - 48 hours to irrigate in order to also get full leafspot control benefits.  Make sure an application of either Abound, Folicur or Headline occurs NO LATER THAN 60 DAP or July 15^th.  White mold must be prevented, and hot weather accelerates white mold growth.

Cylindrocladium Black Rot (CBR)

Vapam

(metam sodium 42%)

10 gal

Pre-plant

Vapam must be shanked into the soil (8” depth) and bedded at least 14 days prior to planting.  Soil temperature at 4” depth should be 60°F.  Do not fumigate when rain (1.0” or more) is expected within 48 hrs.  Crop rotation is extremely important in reducing the risk of CBR.  Resistant varieties (e.g. Perry) can also reduce economic injury in CBR infected fields.

Tomato Spotted

Wilt Virus

_

_

_

This viral disease is transmitted by thrips and must be controlled with a combination of varietal resistance, planting date, seeding rate, and in-furrow insecticides.  Where feasible reduced tillage and/or twin-row planting also reduce TSWV injury.  See the latest issue of the Peanut MoneyMaker for recommendations.
