Definition of valor
noun val·or \ˈva-lər\
1. strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness; personal bravery
2. preemergence herbicide from Valent for use on peanuts that provides 4-6 weeks of residual control

Valent has been presenting the Valor award for as long as the Southern Peanut Growers Conference has been in existence and as long as Valor® SX Herbicide has been available for peanut growers.

“That’s our number one herbicide that’s used pre-emerge, right behind the planter,” says regional representative John Altom. “Very effective on Palmer Amaranth and all your small seed broadleaf weeds.”

Altom says before Palmer, the biggest weed problem for peanut growers was Florida Beggarweed, but Valor has helped to pretty much eliminate that problem.
