Target spot was one of the main diseases that occurred during 2016. Normally a disease of little consequence in soybean as well as cotton, severe target spot outbreaks were observed in both crops. Making decisions regarding the occurrence of target spot during 2016 are difficult since the environment during key plant growth stages was the most important ingredient for the occurrence of target spot last season.
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.
MSU Extension is hosting a series of meetings to be held throughout the state to prepare growers for the upcoming season. These meetings will focus on market outlooks, variety selection, weed management, insect and plant disease management, and other current crop production
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.
We have been working on an insect control guide app for a couple years and are proud to say it is now available in the app store for iPhones. Shortly we will be releasing a version for Android users as
In 2017, the need to maximize thrips control to avoid foliar applications will be more important than ever. With the introduction and anticipation of numerous acres with the new herbicide traits resistant to Dicamba, there will be NO INSECTICIDE tank
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 12th annual Mississippi Peanut Growers Association Annual Meeting will be held at the Bost Extension Building on the campus of Mississippi State University on January 25 and 26, 2017. Please note the new location, as previous meetings have been
The MSU OVT soybean locations were rated for disease during the 2016 season. Multiple diseases were rated at multiple locations. In the past, Cercospora leaf blight and frogeye leaf spot have been the two main diseases rated. In 2016, Septoria brown spot as well as target spot were included in the ratings.

A Maturity Group IV and V variety trial was conducted in Verona, MS at the NMREC during the 2016 season. Yield and disease data are included in the attached report for all entries contained in the trial (RoundUp, Conventional and LibertyLink).
On-farm variety trials were conducted at a total of 17 location in 2016. A total of 8 locations were in the Delta all of which were irrigated. Nine locations were in the hills one of which was irrigated. With the exception
Data for the Mississippi Cotton Official Variety Trial (OVT) program has been collected, analyzed, and complied for publication. Small plot OVT trials were conducted in 10 locations in 2016 with plots consisting of 2 rows that were 35 – 40

The Corn Hybrid Demonstration Program provides us first-hand opportunity and information to better assess hybrid performance and adaptability in Mississippi. This program provides unique opportunity to observe and evaluate plant characteristics and environmental responses of our best corn hybrids in local, on-farm demonstration plots. This is a complete summary of 2016 results.
