This management calendar offers an idea of timing of production practices from just before planting through June.
Before Planting
Late April to May - For conventional tillage and non-irrigated peanuts, pre-plant incorporate Prowl or Sonolan. If Vapam fumigation is needed for CBR control, it should go out at least 14 days pre-plant when there is good soil moisture, but minimal risk of rain within two days of application.

Planted |
Management - Plant five to six seed per foot of row into good moisture at 1.5-inch depth (maximum of 3-inch depth). - Inoculate all new fields and fields out of peanuts for three years with liquid in-furrow inoculant. Hit the center of the furrow!
- Use in-furrow Temik at 5 pounds or Thimet (Phorate) at 4.4 pounds for thrips. - Spread planting date of large acreage over two-week interval to spread harvest maturity. - Optimal planting interval about May 5 - 25. |

May 15-17 |
Planted |
| Management - If Valor is used, it must be applied at planting or within two days of planting. Prowl/ Sonolan or Dual can be tankmixed. |

Cracking/Emergence |
| Management - A pegging zone (four-inch) soil test can be used to re-evaluate landplaster needs on runner types. |
| 7-28 |
May 22- June 12 |
Seedling |
| Management - Apply Gramoxone (+Basagran or Storm) when needed to control first weed flush from cracking through seedling stage. - If thrips injury/stunting occurs after emergence, a foliar Orthene treatment is recommended. |

Bloom (R1) |
| - Management - Landplaster applied at bloom DAP (early better than late). - Typical Cadre application timing is about 35 DAP. Tankmix one pint Bravo with Cadre at 30-35 DAP. - If two Gramoxone applications are used instead of Cadre, the second application must be made within 28 days after cracking (about 35 DAP). |

June 29 |
Peg (R2) |
| Management - Apply a leaf spot application (Tilt/Bravo) no later than 45 DAP. - Boron can be tankmixed with the first fungicide if indicated by soil test and not applied previously. - Water is needed to move gypsum into the pegging zone and sustain pod development. - Check to see that the taproot has active modules if inoculation problems are suspected (yellow plants.) - Cutworms can defoliate in late June - early July. |
