Peanuts Valor Formulations Arrow Prowl H20 newer metolachlor formulations
PeanutsValor Formulations 2001: 51 WDG 2002-03: 51 WP 2004: Valor SX 51WDG * smaller particles * dispersing agents * easier to get into suspension
Peanut yield response to Valor (3 ozs/A) formulation and timing. PE-02-03 Attapulgus P = 0.80 CV = 12
