AUPNUT Leafspot information is also available for NC, SC, TX, OK,
and NM growing areas. More detailed information is also available
to AWIS subscribers. See our home page for subscription information.

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.
