We use Valor extensively because it is a great product. It helps keep the ground clean while the peanuts grow and start to cover but that usually comes with a little injury. Here are some tips to help minimize Valor injury in your peanuts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planting High-Quality Seed (Germ and Vigor). Seed quality is important in 2019. Find<br \/>\nout the % germ of peanut seed that has been purchased.<\/li>\n<li>Planting in Good Moisture and Temperature allowing the seed the best opportunity to<br \/>\ngerminate and emerge quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Planting peanuts at the Correct Depth of at least 1.5\u201d deep. Planting shallower can<br \/>\nincrease the risk of Valor injury along with germination issues, if the soil dries out too quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Applying Valor no later than 2 days after planting. The risk of Valor injury goes up<br \/>\nsignificantly the closer Valor is applied to peanut emergence.<\/li>\n<li>Irrigating as soon as possible behind the Valor application to activate herbicide and<br \/>\nreduce injury. Valor injury can still occur after a hard rain during cracking and<br \/>\nemergence even though a field was irrigated after application.<\/li>\n<li>Not irrigating during cracking and emergence unless the fields are hot and dry and need<br \/>\nirrigation to ensure a good stand. Typically, the lack of moisture can result in more<br \/>\nstand loss than the loss from Valor injury.<\/li>\n<li>Do keep in mind that UGA has a fair amount of data that suggest peanuts will recover from Valor injury with little to no yield loss.<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_68\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68\" style=\"width: 215px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-68\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2019\/04\/valor-prostko-215x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2019\/04\/valor-prostko-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2019\/04\/valor-prostko-99x138.jpg 99w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/tiftcoag\/files\/2019\/04\/valor-prostko.jpg 337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-68\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Valor injury at 6oz\/A.
