On Friday afternoon, May 19, I received word from BASF that Zidua (pyroxasulfone) was labeled for use in peanut. I have been conducting peanut research with pyroxasulfone for more than 10 years (over 47 field trials).
Herbicide Resistance Info |
In a nutshell (no pun intended), Zidua will compete with Dual Magnum or Warrant in our POST peanut herbicide programs for the residual control of Palmer amaranth and a few other weeds (Figure 1). Some advantages for Zidua include its lower use rate (1.5 oz/A-2.1 oz/A) and improved control of other broadleaf weeds such as Florida beggarweed.
Generally, I have observed no real differences in performance/yield between Zidua, Dual Magnum, and Warrant when used in a complete peanut weed control program (Table 1).
