Abstract
\r\n Peanut producers must find acceptable means to increase yields while minimizing cost of production. Fungicide disease management is one of the single greatest expenses associated with peanut production in Georgia. This large on farm research trial is to assess the efficacy of different standard commercial fungicide programs in comparison to a 4-block tebuconazole/chlorothalonil program. Using the University of Georgia 2010 Peanut Fungal Disease Risk Index, this research was established on River Bottom Farms in Lanier County, GA in a field with low-to-moderate disease risk (non-irrigated, long rotation, twin row, minimum tillage, Georgia Greener variety) for fungal disease. Nine fungicide programs were included in the study. These plots were randomized complete block experimental design with four replications. They were managed according to production practices recommended by UGA Cooperative Extension. The data results of this large field trial will be reported in terms of disease control, final yields and cost of the fungicide program.
