Economic Returns from Reduced Rates of Strongarm (S), Valor (V), and Cadre - II PE-01B-03 Attapulgus
SummaryReduced Rates • less injurious than Valor at full rate • similar weed control except for tropical spiderwort and annual mg • when used in total program (pre + post), equivalent yields and net returns when compared to full rate programs • same program in one field may not be the best in another field • digging efficiency/weed seed bank concerns in field with a few escapes?
