Valor EZ, a liquid formulation of Valent U.S.A.’s herbicide, Valor, will be available for the 2017 season.
As a liquid, it provides an easy-to-mix tankmix partner with other residual herbicides for the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System, according to a news release. No longer will growers have to create a slurry as part of the mixing process.
Designed for use on cotton and soybeans, Valor EZ provides residual control of a broad spectrum of weeds, including hard-to-control waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, for four to six weeks.
For the first time, Walnut Creek, Calif.-based Valent U.S.A. will offer grower incentives of $6 per acre on qualified purchases when Valor EZ is purchased and used in conjunction with the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System or with PhytoGen Enlist cotton varieties.
The herbicide, which contains the active ingredient flumioxazin, belongs to the Weed Science Society of America’s Group 14—PPO inhibitors.
