We have over 15 years of experience testing insecticide seed treatments in soybeans in Mississippi and have developed an extensive data set over the years of potential benefits to soybean farmers. I am a firm believer that the choice to
Over the last week or so we have a few calls coming in about stink bugs in heading wheat. It is not uncommon to find stink bugs in wheat after head emergence. However, it takes extremely high numbers to cause

Bollworm moth catches for this week remained about average while tobacco budworm moth catches were very low.
As we move closer to maturity, there are many decisions to be made on termination timing of various management practices. At this time of the season, we can use late season soybean growth stages as a guide to decide when

Although most corn across the state is beyond the susceptible stage, southwestern corn borer traps were very high in some counties with multiple traps exceeding 100 moths per trap.
The Entomology Team discuss all aspects of Stink Bug Management.

Bollworm moth catches in pheromone traps were down this week to levels about average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm moth catches were zero in nearly all traps, so all heliothine eggs should be assumed to be bollworm at
