The results of the 2015 MSU-ES Soybean Variety Demonstration Program have been updated to include disease ratings for Cercospora blight, frogeye leaf spot, Septoria brown spot, and Target spot. These evaluations were collected at many locations in 2015 by Dr.
Variety selection is one of the most critical management decisions associated with soybean production. Factors such as soil type, planting date, irrigation capabilities, row spacing, harvest capacity, and others may influence the decision of selecting an appropriate variety for profitable
The 60th Annual Tri-State Soybean Forum will be held at Mississippi State University’s Delta Research and Extension Center on January 8, 2016. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. followed by the program at 8:30. Presentations will include pertinent information for
The decision making process regarding variety selection is often difficult and, in many cases, leaves growers wondering for the remainder of the growing season whether they made the right variety selection decisions. Further complicating this process has been the rapid
A Maturity Group IV and V variety trial was conducted in Verona, MS at the NMREC during the 2015 season. Yield and disease data are included in the attached report for all entries contained in the trial (RoundUp, Conventional and LibertyLink).
A Maturity Group III variety trial was conducted in Verona, MS at the NMREC during the 2015 season. Yield and disease data are included in the attached report.
The 2015 Row Crop Short Course will be held at the Cotton Mill Conference Center near the campus of Mississippi State University on November 30, December 1, and December 2 2015. Please note that this is a new venue as
Field evaluations of the Maturity Group IV entries in the MSU OVT were conducted at each of the locations where trials were planted (Brooksville, Clarksdale (n=2), Falkner, Longwood, Raymond, and Stoneville (n=3)). Entries were observed for their reaction to the diseases
The MSU OVT soybean locations were rated for disease during the 2015 season. Multiple diseases were rated at multiple locations. In the past, Cerospora leaf blight and frogeye leaf spot have been the two main diseases rated. In 2015, Septoria brown spot as well as target spot were included as well as a green stem rating. Phytotoxicity, following an accidental fungicide application, was rated in the Maturity Group IV early and late entries at one location.
The cultivars contained in the Mississippi State University Official Variety Trial (OVT), as well as a few added cultivars, were field-evaluated for their susceptibility/resistance to stem canker. Trials were conducted in Stoneville with toothpick-inoculated plants during the 2015 season. Tables contain the average ratings (on a 0-9 scale) as well as an assessment of resistance to stem canker (R, MR, MS, S) based on the ratings conducted.
Recent rains have provided moisture necessary for wheat establishment, so as fields dry, wheat seeding should begin in earnest. This article will address wheat seeding questions and discuss management practices to employ to optimize productivity.
The On-Farm Soybean Variety Demonstration Program is conducted using a set of varieties with proven performance. These varieties are grown in a production setting on various soil types and management systems around the state. Demonstration sets for both maturity group
Wheat disease ratings from several of the 2015 MSU OVT locations are included. Diseases differed by location during the 2015 season. However, Fusarium head blight (FHB) was one of the most commonly observed diseases. Keep in mind that environment may have differed by location therefore some varieties may have appeared to have responded to FHB infection differently.
The soybean variety trial ratings from the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center (NMREC) are included (MG III, IV, and V). The yield publication from NMREC will be posted at a later date. As in the past, plots were rated for Cercospora leaf blight (CLB) and frogeye leaf spot (FLS). However, this year, Septoria brown spot (Septoria) and target spot were also rated when the diseases were present. Green stem ratings were conducted for the Maturity Group IV early and late varieties.
The MSU Corn Hybrid Demonstration Program evaluates premier corn hybrids and substantially supplements the independent and unbiased information gathered in the University Hybrid Trials. Preliminary grain yield results from 2015 irrigated and dryland trials are summarized in this release.
We had an App created that will allow you to review the program and register straight from your Smart Phone for the 2015 Mississippi Row Crop Short Course Nov. 30th – Dec. 2, 2015 at the Cotton Mill District in
Data from the Mississippi State University Extension Service on-farm variety trial program at Guedon Farms in Natchez, MS can be accessed using the link below. This trial was planted on May 3, 2015 and harvested on September 18, 2015. All
This effort lists those corn hybrids which have demonstrated superior productivity in the Mississippi Corn for Grain Hybrid Trials. No other source tests as many hybrids representing today’s market. Thus, there is no better barometer for you to judge hybrid performance and improve your ability to select the best for your farm.

The 2015 Delta area/Bolivar Co. Rice Meeting will be held at the Bolivar Co. Extension office on November 5, 2015. Mississippi rice producers, industry professionals, and other interested parties are invited to listen to presentations from MSU research and Extension
Find below the Preliminary version of the 2015 On-Farm Rice Variety Trial. During 2015, small plot rice variety trials were conducted near the following locations; Choctaw, Clarksdale, Hollandale, Ruleville, Shaw, Stoneville, and Tunica. Variety trial data is presented segmented by
This publication lists those wheat varieties which have demonstrated superior productivity in the Mississippi Wheat and Oat Variety Trials and summarizes their characteristics. This impartial information should help you better assess wheat varieties which are best suited for your farm.
Late-season soybean rust observations occur on almost an annual basis. Even though the majority of the soybean crop has escaped yield loss as a result of soybean rust again for the 2015 season, determining the extent of the disease in MS as well as potential locations where the fungus could overwinter continue to be an important part of the monitoring/scouting program. At present (9/22), soybean rust has been detected in 41 counties.
