Off target drift of paraquat has increased with the use of paraquat burndown behind the planter for resistance management. Under the direction of Dr. Jason Bond, evaluating the effects of early season paraquat drift on rice has been the dissertation
Dicamba Applicator Training, which is required for anyone planning to apply dicamba herbicide products in Xtend cropping systems, is currently offered online (http://auxintraining.com) and will also be offered through in-person workshops located around Mississippi from March 4-8, 2019. Workshop locations will include Washington, Yazoo, Leflore, Marshall, Calhoun, Hinds, Lee,
Mississippi State University Extension will be hosting several county row crop meetings from January through March of 2019. Each meeting will cover issues specific to the region including management topics on agronomics, insects, weeds, diseases, and economics. A meal will
The 2018 MSU-DREC Rice Producer Field Day will be held on August 2, at the Delta Research and Extension Center at 3:30 p.m. The program will begin at the Capps center with a brief welcome prior to departing for the field
Mississippi State University will be hosting 2 scout schools this year. We have transitioned over the years to make these trainings much more diverse than insect pest alone. This year we will be including insects, disease, fertility, and herbicide symptomology.
Italian ryegrass resistant to clethodim is present in Mississippi.
You are welcome to attend the Row Crop Update at the Mississippi Agricultural Industry Council Conference. The conference is hosted at Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama on Wednesday, July 26.
There is no question that we are seeing increased tolerance to the seed treatments with tobacco thrips in cotton. We made an effort this year to encourage the use of acephate either in-furrow or as an overtreatment to the normal
Herbicide mixtures can have a large influence on barnyardgrass control with glyphosate.
Labeling for new auxin herbicide products detail requirements that either restrict application or require buffers between the treated field and sensitive areas or susceptible crops.
New auxin herbicide products have associated websites, which are considered extensions of the federal labels, that list additives and herbicides approved for mixture.
Observing the preplant intervals for 2,4-D and dicamba prior to planting is important.
New labels for herbicide products to be used in Enlist and Xtend crops have unique application specifications.
New auxin herbicide-resistant crop technologies are not a return to the days when Palmer amaranth of any size could be completely controlled with a single herbicide application
New herbicide-resistant technologies offer the option to use herbicides previously not labeled for in-season application in cotton and soybean
New herbicide-resistant crop options are available for 2017 in the form of the Enlist Weed Control System from Dow Agrosciences and the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System from Monsanto.
Spring tillage with the intent of controlling GR Italian ryegrass is nearly futile.
Fields to be planted to rice that contain glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass should be managed aggressively
Mississippi producers interested in purchasing auxin-containing herbicides intended for in-crop use on 2,4-D- or dicamba-tolerant crops must first complete mandatory online training.
An early burndown targeting Italian ryegrass is more critical in fields to be planted to corn than those that will be planted to other crops.
An early burndown application in January or early-February for Italian ryegrass allows time to determine how well the first application worked and flexibility in deciding how to control escapes.
The best chance for reliable glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass control is with residual herbicides applied in the fall.
As we approach soybean physiological maturity, determining the specific soybean growth stage can aid in several important management decisions. Distinct differences exist between the R6 and R6.5 growth stage.
Over the past week, following the excessive rainfall received through most of the soybean production area, several calls have been received regarding soybean seed sprouting in the pods.
