Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Prohexadione calcium reduced the dollar value per metric ton (DVMT) by up to 3 points of total sound mature kernel percentage.
- Intervention effect Prohexadione calcium gave higher gross dollar value return per hectare (GDR) in all experiments.
- Intervention effect Prohexadione calcium gave higher gross dollar value return per hectare above treatment cost (GDRAT) in on-farm trials.
- Recommendation Prohexadione calcium at 105 g/ha applied twice on runner market type peanut is warranted to improve yield and financial return when vine growth is excessive.
