The growth retarding chemical daminozide is used to control excess peanut vine growth in the southeastern United States. New regulations now prohibit the use of this chemical in some states. The concentrations of daminozide within the plants were determined for soil carryover of the chemical and from foliar applications. Application of 1.43 kg/ha to the soil resulted in no residue in the plant at harvest. A single foliar application of 0.95 kg/ha at 42 days after planting resulted in mature fruit resides of 0.27 ppm with the chemical translocated throughout the plant. These results suggest that foliar samples may be used as a diagnostic tool to locate daminozide treated plants.
