Online Auxin Herbicide Training Starts February 13
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.
Control Italian Ryegrass Early
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.
Management Suggestions for Glyphosate-Resistant Italian Ryegrass
The best chance for reliable glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass control is with residual herbicides applied in the fall.
