Last night, I received 1.7" of rainfall in about 1-1.5 hours. If this type of rainfall occurred in your county, be prepared for phone calls about potential Valor injury on peanuts. Any Valor treated peanut plants that were cracking or ~2 weeks old will likely exhibit some damage (Figures 1 and 2). The good news is that the peanut plants will likely recover without suffering yield loss (Figure 3). The yield results presented in Figure 3 occurred after observing significant crop injury in Figure 2 (
i.e. the same test).
