Another day another peanut trial harvest. We dug and harvested our peanut trial at Citra in the same day due to rain in the forecast. Commercially, there are downsides like increased drying cost & more pod loss/damage, but less important for our situation.

Yesterday we dug out first peanut trial of the year at NFREC-SV. Testing efficacy of some conventional and biological nematicides for management of peanut root-knot nematode.

Carrot planting @nfrec_sv. We are testing nematicides for root-knot nematode control. After planting, we applied some liquid nematicides by watering can to mimick application through overhead irrigation.
