(*Numbers in parentheses are the risk points associated with that factor.)
These are NOT specific recommendations but illustrations of some possibilities for your consideration.
If you want to do all you can do to minimize spotted wilt:
Following strip tillage (5), DP-1 peanuts (10) are planted in twin rows (5) on May 18 (5) using Thimet in the furrow (5) with a final stand of 4.5 plants per foot of row (5) No Classic herbicide is applied (0).
Risk Index = 35
You can try a “High-Point” variety and still avoid high risk:
Following strip tillage (5), Flavorunner 458 peanuts (50) are planted in twin rows (5) on May 22 (5) using Thimet in the furrow (5) with a final stand of 4.5 plants per foot of row (5) No Classic herbicide is applied (0).
Risk Index = 75
A “Low-Point” variety alone is not enough:
Following conventional tillage (15), DP-1 peanuts (10) are planted in single rows (15) on April 15 (30) using Temik in the furrow (15) with a final stand of 1.5 plants per foot of row (25). Classic herbicide is applied (5).
Risk Index = 115
Thimet or Phorate alone is not enough:
Following conventional tillage (15), SunOleic 97R peanuts (50) are planted in single rows (15) on April 10 (30) using Thimet in the furrow (5) with a final stand of 1.5 plants per foot of row (25). Classic herbicide is applied (5).
Risk index = 145
If you prefer not to use Thimet or Phorate, you can still have low risk:
Following strip tillage (5), Georgia Green peanuts (20) are planted in twin rows (5) on May 23 (5) using Temik in the furrow (15) with a final stand of 4.5 plants per foot of row (5). No Classic herbicide is applied (0).
Risk Index = 55
If you must plant early, you can still have low risk:
Following strip tillage (5), DP-1 peanuts (10) are planted in twin rows (5) on April 20 (30) using phorate in the furrow (5) with a final stand of 4.2 plants per foot of row (5). No Classic herbicide is applied (0).
Risk Index = 60
If you're not equipped for strip tillage or twin rows, you can still have low risk:
Following conventional tillage (15), C-99R peanuts (15) are planted in single rows (15) on May 12 (5) using Thimet in the furrow (5) with a final stand of 4.6 plants per foot of row (5). No Classic herbicide is applied (0).
Risk Index = 60
If you ignore all the known methods to minimize spotted wilt:
Following conventional tillage (15), Florunner peanuts (50) are planted in single rows (15) on April 20 (25) using no at-plant insecticide treatment (15) with a final stand of 2.2 plants per foot of row (25). Classic herbicide is applied (5).
Risk Index = 155
