At-plant CBR protection gives
plants stronger pegs and better pod retention at harvest
Peanut growers plagued with Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) have
a new in-furrow tool to suppress this disease.
Bayer CropScience
received Environmental Protection Agency registration permitting
in-furrow applications of Proline® fungicide to peanuts in the
2009 season.
“Using Proline at-plant boosts your yield potential,” said Randy
Myers, Proline product manager. “Suppressing CBR levels gives
peanuts stronger pegs that retain more pods during harvest.”
Peanut growers can follow an at-plant Proline application with a
Provost® fungicide block program for even greater protection
against CBR. In 27 university trials over multiple years with
CBR pressure present, using an in-furrow application of Proline
plus a Provost-block program increased yields by an average of
more than 400 lbs/A over using Provost alone.
“Diseases can lower peanut yield potential by literally hundreds
or even thousands of pounds,” Myers said. “Using a fungicide
such as Proline can give growers the opportunity to reclaim more
peanuts and more profit.”
