This year has been unusual to say the least with the COVID-19 outbreak. During this time, worker availability has become our limiting factor. It has ultimately limited our ability to conduct as many state wide surveys with student workers at
We have been getting some questions about what to expect this upcoming season with RBSB in soybean. While we have had a few freezes and cold snaps this winter, we do not believe we have had a cold enough winter
The Mississippi State University Extension Soil Testing Laboratory has revised the soil test-based potassium fertility recommendations for soybeans in Mississippi. This announcement by Dr. Keri Jones is the culmination of many years of work supported by the Mississippi Soybean Promotion
The cultivars contained in the Mississippi State University Official Variety Trial (OVT), as well as a few additional cultivars, were field-evaluated for their susceptibility/resistance to stem canker. Trials were conducted in Stoneville with toothpick-inoculated plants during the 2019 season. Tables contain the average of the field observations (on a 0-9 scale) as well as an assessment of resistance to stem canker (R, MR, MS, S) based on the evaluations conducted.
Variety selection can be considered to be one of the most important management decisions for the season. Factors such as soil texture, planting date, irrigation capabilities, row spacing, harvest capacity, among others, will influence the decision of selecting an appropriate
When previously posted, three locations from this year’s program had yet to be harvested. Since that time, two of these three locations have been harvested and the link below has been updated to reflect the addition of these data. As
The annual MSU Extension Soybean Variety Demonstration Program is conducted using a set of varieties with proven performance. These varieties are grown in a production setting on various soils and management systems around the state. The sets for 2019 represented
The Plant Diagnostic Lab is offering free nematode testing for Mississippi soybean fields through August 30, 2020. The free testing, offered as a portion of a check-off funded project by the United Soybean Board, has been expanded to include all plant parasitic nematodes of soybean, not just soybean cyst nematode (SCN).
Even though we are late in the season, some of the disease situations observed across MS continue to change.
As we move into September, we have had a few acres of soybean harvested, some that have already received a harvest aid, many that are getting close to maturity, and, in the case of the latest planted crop, some acres

This growing season seems to be one where the decision for terminating irrigation in soybean may require consideration of factors that aren’t necessarily typical. Reasons for these additional considerations include the range in planting dates this season along with the
The MSU OVT soybean locations were evaluated for disease during the 2018 season. Multiple diseases were evaluated at multiple locations and are provided in this post. Cercospora blight, Septoria brown spot, southern blight, and target spot were the most commonly encountered diseases during the season.
To say that this planting season has been full of challenges with respect to weather conditions would be an extreme understatement. According to the USDA NASS, Mississippi soybean planting as of May 12 is only 33% complete. The reality of
The Mississippi State University Extension Service is offering free Soybean Cyst Nematode testing through August 30, 2019. For details click the links below. Soybean Cyst Nematode Sample Submission Form SCOUTING AND SOIL TESTING FOR SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE
The MSU OVT soybean locations were evaluated for disease during the 2018 season. Multiple diseases were evaluated at multiple locations and are provided in this post. Cercospora blight, Septoria brown spot and target spot were the three most commonly encountered diseases during the season.
Evaluations of the entries contained in the MSU Official Variety Trial were screened for their response to a fungicide that produces phytotoxicity. Even though differences exist within the commercially available fungicides regarding the amount of phytotoxicity observed over the past few season, the associated evaluations should provide guidance as to the specific response of commercial variety offerings. As has been stated in the past, no yield losses have been observed to occur as a result of the phytotoxicity associated with the commercially labeled fungicides for application to soybean.
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
Variety selection is an incredibly important management decision for soybean production. Factors such as soil texture, planting date, irrigation capabilities, row spacing, harvest capacity, among others, may influence the decision of selecting an appropriate variety. There are many excellent varieties to choose from that

Seed quality issues remain an important topic. Over the two weeks, portions of the MSU OVT that remained in the field post-harvest were harvested to consider quality differences between varieties. Purple seed stain as well as total damage, as a result of purple seed stain, Phomopsis seed decay and other issues that result in discoloration of soybean grain, were evaluated for the MG IV early and late and MG V early and late entries (n=133) in the Stoneville, MS loam OVT location.
The program for the 2018 Mississippi State University Row Crop Short Course has been finalized and over 350 people have already pre-registered for the event. The 2018 Row Crop Short Course will be held at the Cotton Mill Conference Center
The program for the 2018 Mississippi State University Row Crop Short Course has been finalized and registration is open to those who would like to attend. The 2018 Row Crop Short Course will be held at the Cotton Mill Conference
Every few years we have a surge of potato leafhopper calls in soybean in MS. This is one of those years. Potato leafhoppers strongly prefer smooth leaf soybean varieties and I suspect that the calls increase on years where popular
