Managing Weeds With PP, PPI and Pre Herbicides
• By Emi Kimura, James Grichar, Pete Dotray and Josh McGinty, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension • Best management practices for peanut production include effective season-long weed management. The four weed management principles in peanut production are: 1. Start clean. 2. Use residual herbicides. 3. Be timely with postemergence applications. 4. Know your weeds. Early season weed management is most important and should result in easier weed control later in the season.
Texas Peanuts: Mid- to Late-Season Weed Control Options
Weed pressure seems higher this season due to better than average soil moisture. Herbicides applied preplant and at planting have been effective, but new weed flushes following rainfall or irrigation are likely as soil applied herbicides are dissipating. Herbicides applied at early-postemergence that do not have soil activity are also prone to allow new weed flushes.

The extended labels include changes to ensure these products continue to be used effectively and to address concerns about off-target movement.
Texas: Enlist Herbicides - Minimizing Off-Target Movement
Numerous complaints have been received from the off-target movement of auxin herbicides in parts of South and East Texas over the past two weeks. Due to the extremely high sensitivity of cotton to 2,4-D, it is not too surprising that most of the incidents appear to be off-target movement of 2,4-D. In much of Texas, observing 2,4-D injury in cotton is common, but some of the incidents this year do appear to be from applications in row crops.
