Prior to rice harvest and soybean desiccation we would like to present the work of Justin McCoy, a PhD candidate under the direction of Dr. Bobby Golden. Justin’s dissertation investigated the effects of late-season paraquat drift on rice over the
Most of the area rice is close to the permanent flood timing or will be after this tropical depression. With water being one of the most expensive inputs of the rice producer, utilizing methods to limit the amount of water
Corn response to nitrogen fertilizer is a dynamic situation that becomes extremely challenging when rainy weather restricts field operations and saturates soils even longer than normal. This article gives recommendations to improve corn response to nitrogen fertilizer and reduce risk when adverse weather occurs.
Mississippi State University Extension will be hosting several more county row crop meetings during February of 2020. Each meeting will cover issues specific to the region including management topics on agronomics, insects, weeds, diseases, and economics. A meal will be

Corn productivity may vary considerably depending on what fertilizer source, timing and application method you use. This article discusses how to improve corn response to nitrogen fertilizer and reduce risk of losses.
The U.S. rice industry’s commitment to sustainability dates back generations, long before the word “sustainability” became a popular, if difficult to define, term. The Rice Foundation commissioned this rice industry sustainability report to collect in one place the outstanding accomplishments of
One of our MSU row rice cooperators this year sent me the following pictures of his row rice and conventional levee fields. He has burned the row rice field and it is ready to plant. The conventional levee field had
If you ask experienced furrow irrigated rice producers one thing is clear, they recognize only a small, if any, yield reduction. MSU Researchers, recognizing the significant yield reduction observed in small plot data compared to producer experience, began looking deeper
Last week we presented the early season effects of paraquat on rice research of PhD. candidate Ben Lawrence. This week we would like to present the work of Justin McCoy, a PhD candidate under the direction of Dr. Bobby Golden.
Off target drift of paraquat has increased with the use of paraquat burndown behind the planter for resistance management. Under the direction of Dr. Jason Bond, evaluating the effects of early season paraquat drift on rice has been the dissertation
Poultry litter has been used to produce Mississippi crops for decades. However, most often it has fertilized hay and forage crops grown near the production facilities. The increased volatility of inorganic fertilizer prices circa 2008 led to more interest and use

Bill O’Neal of Allendale Planting Company in Shelby is well versed in adaptation to get the job done. Allendale is one of the farms on the riverside that for “Delta standards” most would call rolling or hilly. Two years ago, O’Neal
Last week we started our conversation concerning Furrow Irrigated rice (row rice), this week we look at the on farm studies. “On farm” research trials attempt to look at the real world. “On farm” trials evaluate real world data, uncontrollable
Producing rice in a “rowed-up” manner as other row crops such as corn, soybean, and cotton was a foreign concept just a couple of years ago. Row rice or furrow irrigated rice was initially investigated by MSU Researchers as an
The 2018 Delta Area Rice Meeting will be held at the Bolivar Co. Extension office on November 15, 2018. Mississippi rice producers, industry professionals, and other interested parties are invited to listen to presentations from MSU research and Extension faculty

As the Mississippi corn crop approaches tassel stage, weather has fluctuated from dry to rainy conditions during recent weeks. Thus, how may this affect how the corn will respond to mid-season application of various management inputs, including nitrogen fertilizer or other products? This article will discuss factors that could dramatically affect corn response.
Mississippi State University will be hosting 2 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.
