Precautions

Apply when peanuts are in the unifoliate to 4th trifoliate leaf stage and when weeds are small and actively growing.
Many annual broadleaf weeds including velvetleaf (15 cm/up to 6 leaf), smartweed (20 cm/up to 10 leaf) and cocklebur (30 cm/up to 10 leaf) are controlled.
Top growth of Canada thistle and yellow nutsedge is controlled and field bindweed may be suppressed but 2 applications of Basagran at 1.75 L/ha (0.7 L/ac) 10 days apart may be required.
A new flush of weeds may emerge after the first flush has been controlled.
Temporary crop injury may occur under abnormally cool or hot, humid conditions. Reduce rate of oil concentrate to 1 L/ha (0.4 L/ac) when those conditions occur. Cool weather or drought may delay or reduce control.
