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
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.
Bacterial panicle blight has been a rare disease in MS rice production systems. Over the past several years, bacterial panicle blight has only been observed in years when high temperatures occurred for extended periods of time during flowering. The specific
Leaf blast has been observed in the MS rice crop for the better part of the last three weeks. In most cases, lesions were observed in areas of fields where the floodwater was less than four inches.
Controlling GR Palmer amaranth on turnrows and ditchbanks has become a critical component to weed control.
Included in this blog post are a rice disease calendar. Information presented in the calendar deals with the most commonly observed rice diseases throughout the MS rice production area. In general, the occurrence of diseases on rice will depend on the planting date, general field history as related to previous crop, and the environmental conditions throughout the season.
Calls about thrips treatments in seedling cotton have been picking up substantially this week. As ryegrass and other ditchbank hosts begin to dry down, thrips numbers will likely increase in the next couple weeks. The 100% chance of rain today (5/20) now
