Target spot management in soybean production systems remains a hot topic going into the 2017 season. The environment that occurred during late July and early August 2016 made us respect a disease that is often “out of sight and out of mind”. Fungicide data from two efficacy trials conducted during 2016 are included in this blog post.
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.
Mississippi State University will be hosting 4 scout schools this year. We have transitioned over the years to make these trainings much more diverse than insect pest alone. This year we will be including insects, disease, fertility, and herbicide symptomology. There
New auxin herbicide products have associated websites, which are considered extensions of the federal labels, that list additives and herbicides approved for mixture.
Target spot was one of the main diseases that occurred during 2016. Normally a disease of little consequence in soybean as well as cotton, severe target spot outbreaks were observed in both crops. Making decisions regarding the occurrence of target spot during 2016 are difficult since the environment during key plant growth stages was the most important ingredient for the occurrence of target spot last season.
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.
We have been working on an insect control guide app for a couple years and are proud to say it is now available in the app store for iPhones. Shortly we will be releasing a version for Android users as
In 2017, the need to maximize thrips control to avoid foliar applications will be more important than ever. With the introduction and anticipation of numerous acres with the new herbicide traits resistant to Dicamba, there will be NO INSECTICIDE tank
The 2017 General Pest Management Workshop will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2017, at the Central Mississippi Research and Extension Center in Raymond. The workshop will consist of a morning and afternoon session. Registration/check-in will begin at 8:15 A.M.
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 12th annual Mississippi Peanut Growers Association Annual Meeting will be held at the Bost Extension Building on the campus of Mississippi State University on January 25 and 26, 2017. Please note the new location, as previous meetings have been
The MSU OVT soybean locations were rated for disease during the 2016 season. Multiple diseases were rated at multiple locations. In the past, Cercospora leaf blight and frogeye leaf spot have been the two main diseases rated. In 2016, Septoria brown spot as well as target spot were included in the ratings.
MSU Extension is hosting a series of meetings to be held throughout the state to prepare growers for the upcoming season. These meetings will focus on market outlooks, variety selection, weed management, insect and plant disease management, and other current crop production

A Maturity Group IV and V variety trial was conducted in Verona, MS at the NMREC during the 2016 season. Yield and disease data are included in the attached report for all entries contained in the trial (RoundUp, Conventional and LibertyLink).
On-farm variety trials were conducted at a total of 17 location in 2016. A total of 8 locations were in the Delta all of which were irrigated. Nine locations were in the hills one of which was irrigated. With the exception
