Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate flumioxazin preemergence (PRE) at 71 and 105 g ai/ha, when used with dimethenamid PRE, dimethenamid preplant incorporated (PPI), or ethalfluralin PPI, for crop injury, weed control, and yield. Peanut injury from treatments including flumioxazin 2 wk after soil-applied treatment (WAST) was less than 2% at two locations and 50 to 67% at a third location. Peanut injury increased with flumioxazin rate. Soil-applied treatments that included flumioxazin at either rate controlled common lambsquarters and prickly sida at least 96 and 89%, respectively. Addition of postemergence (POST) herbicides to any soil-applied program controlled prickly sida and ivyleaf morningglory at least 94 and 98%, respectively. Treatments that included ethafluralin or dimethenamid controlled goosegrass at least 82%. With a few exceptions, peanut yields were not improved by use of POST herbicides. Where peanut injury occurred, increased flumioxazin rate resulted in lower peanut yield when averaged over PPI and POST herbicide treatments.
