There have been several reports in late-planted soybean, particularly in Leflore and Humphreys counties, of “flat pods” (See picture below). What has happened in these areas is an incidence of seed abortion or arrested development (Wiebold 2012, https://ipm.missouri.edu/cropPest/2012/11/Arrested-Development-in-the-Soybean-Field-Part2/index.cfm). Arrested development
Italian ryegrass has been one of the most troublesome weeds in Mississippi for nearly 20 years. Many populations across the state are resistant to ALS herbicides, glyphosate, and ACCase herbicides such as diclofop and clethodim. Additionally, there have been some
Mississippi State goes to great lengths to evaluate corn hybrid performance. These Corn Hybrid Demonstration trials are grown in numerous on-farm locations throughout the state where you can better analyze hybrid performance of our region’s most elite hybrids. Preliminary grain yield results from this year’s trials are published here.
Management As with any successful weed control program, a multi-faceted approach is the most effective and economical strategy for managing Italian ryegrass. Mechanical and preventative control Italian ryegrass seed must be close to the soil surface (<0.5 in) for germination
This was recently updated to include variety evaluations for leaf rust resistance.
This publication lists varieties which have demonstrated superior grain production in the Mississippi Wheat and Oat Variety Trials and summarizes their characteristics. This independent information should help you select better wheat varieties for producing grain in different regions of Mississippi.
Cover crops can be seeded in agricultural fields using various methods used to plant small grains or forages. These seeding methods commonly range from using a grain drill to broadcasting. Using a drill offers more control of seeding rate, distribution,
Cover crop seed selection can be confusing due to the numerous choices available. However, there are simply three classes of cover species which affect their primary purpose and benefits. Understanding these differences, as well as the suitability of specific species will greatly improve your cover cropping outcome.
