Pythium seedling diseases and fungicide seed treatments Little if any information seems to exist regarding the specific fungicide seed treatment suggestions that would follow extended periods of soil flooding. In the past, most of the published research has been conducted
Funding has been secured to monitor for soybean rust from the United Soybean Board and to conduct a general soybean disease monitoring program through funding from the Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board. As in the past, soybean sentinel plots were planted
Over the past 4 updates I’ve attempted to present data that suggests the best time to apply a fungicide is in response to a foliar disease that could potentially reduce yield. In many situations particular fungicide products are being touted
Much has been made of the ability of strobilurin fungicides to prevent corn from lodging, typically towards the end of the season. Since 2007 I have received countless calls that have gone something like “we sprayed a field with fungicide
Since 2007, fungicide products containing a strobilurin active ingredient have been suggested to increase plant “greenness†or allow the plants to stay greener longer in the field following a tassel (VT) application. Increased green plant tissue has been stated to
From 2007 through 2009 Mississippi State University extension and research personnel were involved in a large corn fungicide research effort funded by the Mississippi Corn Promotion Board. Except for situations where corn was planted on experiment stations (Brooksville, Pontotoc, Raymond,
To keep each of the sections short I’ve separated the entire segment regarding fungicide application in corn into 5 general segments. 2011 marks my 5th season with Mississippi State University. Since I started this job on May 15 2007, one
Over the past few weeks I’ve received numerous calls regarding wheat leaves and heads that have gone from not presenting disease-like symptoms to presenting disease symptoms in a short period of time. In addition to leaf symptoms (see top photo),
Tremendous headway was made this week with regard to cotton planting. Planters started moving late last week as well as over the weekend. By Monday, planting activities for several crops were well underway throughout the state. While flooding is of
Over the past week I have continued to receive calls regarding the fungicide application restrictions in wheat. The specific wheat pre-harvest intervals are set to reduce the likelihood of a residue issue at the elevator. I do realize there has
Currently, the wheat crop continues to be mostly disease free. The majority of the wheat crop is heading to flowering depending on the geographic location within Mississippi. At present, the two most prevalent diseases are leaf and stripe rust.
Mississippi Wheat Disease Update and Fungicide Decisions At present there is little to no disease in the Mississippi wheat crop. On Monday, low levels of powdery mildew were detected in a research plot in Stoneville. In addition, low levels of
One of the objectives of this program is to identify key production limitations, so the Mississippi State University Extension Service and Experiment Station can better direct efforts to develop innovations for our specific problems. This is a summary of such limitations documented during the past few years.
The 2010 Row Crop Short Course was held at Mississippi State University on December 6 – 8, 2010. As we expanded the Short Course in 2009, we also have adopted technology to record the oral and visual portions of the presentations.
The Peanut Prescription Rx Program has proven successful in peanut producing areas for several years, and some growers in Mississippi are trying this on their farms. The program utilizes several factors to determine the risk of infection from a particular disease. After the risk has been assessed, a prescription fungicide recommendation can then be made. This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of this program in Mississippi.
