Peanut growing areas are defined by a geographical designator and a state
abreviation. Geographical designators include: NP=Northern Peninsula,
EC/WC=East/West Central, NC/SC=North/South Central, NW/SW=North/South West,
NE/SE=North/South East, and CN=Central.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following leafspot statements are only 'generalized' spray guidelines.
Growers are required to keep track of their individual 'rain event days'
and refer to the AU-Pnut spray rules for their site-specific information.

Leafspot   5-Day
Statement# Avg PoP  Leafspot Statement
---------- -------  ------------------

   1       >= 50%   Forecast weather patterns are very favorable for a rapid
                    buildup of peanut leafspot. Fields that have not received
                    a fungicide spray within 10 days should be IMMEDIATELY
                    treated for peanut leafspot.

   2       >= 40%   Forecast rainfall patterns favor peanut leafspot.
                    Immediately spray those fields that have had a rain or
                    have been irrigated within the past 10 days. Do not
                    exceed 14 days between peanut leafspot sprays.

   3       >= 20%   Some peanut leafspot development will occur. Growers are
                    advised to spray if 2 rain events have been recorded in
                    the field over the last 10 days.

   4       < 20%    Forecast weather patterns do not favor peanut leafspot.
                    However fields that have had 3 rain events in the last
                    10 days (including irrigation as a rain event) should
                    be sprayed immediately.

Spray IMMEDIATELY if you have had three rain events. 
STOP fungicide applications if you are within 14 days of harvest.
