Southwestern Corn Borer Traps, July 4, 2020

Trap counts for southwestern corn borer are highly variable this week. We did have two locations in Tate and Leflore Counties that exceeded the threshold this week. As a reminder, thresholds for southwestern corn borer suggest spraying non-Bt corn 7 days after traps counts exceed 50 moths over 7 days before R1 (green silk) and 100 moths over 7 days...

Sealing Soils Confusion

Surface sealing in the Mississippi Delta typically occurs in soils that have a low clay and organic matter content but have a high silt fraction, i.e., most of our silt loam soils.
Surface sealing, from an irrigation management standpoint, is problematic because it can drastically reduce rainfall or irrigation infiltration rates. Following is a list of means to determine if...
Heliothine Trap Counts, July 2, 2020

Bollworm pheromone trap catches were higher than long-term averages again this week as they have been all year, while tobacco budworm catches were about the same as long-term averages. As most corn is advancing past the green silk stage, more of these moths will be laying their eggs in cotton and soybean, so be scouting these crops carefully for bollworm...
Corn Reproductive Stages and Their Management Implications

Corn reproductive stages may comprise nearly 60 days for full-season corn hybrids grown in Mississippi at normal planting dates depending upon seasonal heat unit accumulation. Early maturity hybrids (~110 day RM) will progress through reproductive stages slightly quicker, than our 118-120 day hybrids, but the difference during reproductive stages will only be about 5 days. Therefore, a 60 day timeline...
Rice Flood, It’s Okay to Let it Down

AWD is a water-saving technology that farmers can use to reduce the amount of irrigation water used in rice fields without any yield penalty. In AWD, farmers allow the flood water to recede to a “muddy” state before re-flooding the field. The number of days of non-flooded soil between irrigations can vary from 1 day to more than 5 days...
