Entires for the 2017 Mississippi Soybean Yield Contest are due on August 1, 2017. Entry Forms can be found at the Mississippi Soybean Association website: www.mississippisoybeanassociation.com. Some entries have been getting sent back if sent to the address on
You are welcome to attend the Row Crop Update at the Mississippi Agricultural Industry Council Conference. The conference is hosted at Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama on Wednesday, July 26.
There is no question that we are seeing increased tolerance to the seed treatments with tobacco thrips in cotton. We made an effort this year to encourage the use of acephate either in-furrow or as an overtreatment to the normal
By now I am sure everyone has seen the pictures of the flooding occurring from recent rains in across the river in Arkansas and Missouri. Compared to those states, Mississippi has fared pretty well in regards to flooding of young
As we start to see the soybeans from the last couple rounds of planting emerge, we will begin to notice some planter problems that occurred. These can include skips, blanks spots, and even whole rows missing. With the popularity of
Herbicide mixtures can have a large influence on barnyardgrass control with glyphosate.
It is nearly April and many producers are itching to start planting soybeans in Mississippi. Given that, I figured now would be a good time to re-post some information from a large multi-state study that looked at the interaction of
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.
Last spring I was driving around with a farmer who told me that he was going to plant his soybeans at 180,000 seeds/acre. When I asked him why, he said “More mommies and daddies make more babies.” That statement
New auxin herbicide products have associated websites, which are considered extensions of the federal labels, that list additives and herbicides approved for mixture.
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.
An early burndown targeting Italian ryegrass is more critical in fields to be planted to corn than those that will be planted to other crops.
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 Mississippi Soybean Association will be hosting the Mississippi Soybean Forum on Monday November 14 at the Capps Center in Stoneville, MS. The forum will include a presentation from Dan Bremer of Ag Works LLC. about the future of the
The best chance for reliable glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass control is with residual herbicides applied in the fall.
As we approach soybean physiological maturity, determining the specific soybean growth stage can aid in several important management decisions. Distinct differences exist between the R6 and R6.5 growth stage.
Over the past week, following the excessive rainfall received through most of the soybean production area, several calls have been received regarding soybean seed sprouting in the pods.
