MS Agricultural Industry Council – Row Crop Update
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.
Thrips and Herbicide Co-Applications
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
REMINDER: 2017 Agronomic Scout Schools
Mississippi State University will be hosting 4 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. There
Barnyardgrass Control in Mississippi Delta Crops
Herbicide mixtures can have a large influence on barnyardgrass control with glyphosate.
Enlist and Xtend: What Buffers are Mandatory?
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.

Enlist and Xtend: What Mixtures Are Approved?
New auxin herbicide products have associated websites, which are considered extensions of the federal labels, that list additives and herbicides approved for mixture.
Preplant Intervals for 2,4-D and Dicamba Applied as Burdown in Mississippi
Observing the preplant intervals for 2,4-D and dicamba prior to planting is important.
Enlist and Xtend: What Boom Specifications Are Required?
New labels for herbicide products to be used in Enlist and Xtend crops have unique application specifications.
Enlist and Xtend: At What Growth Stages Can I Spray?
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
Enlist and Xtend: What Are the Herbicide Rates?
New herbicide-resistant technologies offer the option to use herbicides previously not labeled for in-season application in cotton and soybean
Enlist and Xtend: What Can I Spray and on Which Crops Can I Spray It?
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 Ineffective for Glyphosate-resistant Italian Ryegrass Control
Spring tillage with the intent of controlling GR Italian ryegrass is nearly futile.
Don’t Underestimate Italian Ryegrass in Mississippi Rice Fields
Fields to be planted to rice that contain glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass should be managed aggressively
Online Auxin Herbicide Training Starts February 13
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.
Control Italian Ryegrass Early
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.
Management Suggestions for Glyphosate-Resistant Italian Ryegrass
The best chance for reliable glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass control is with residual herbicides applied in the fall.
Delta Area Rice Grower Meeting – November 17, 2016
The 2016 Delta Area Rice Meeting will be held at the Bolivar Co. Extension office on November 17, 2016. Mississippi rice producers, industry professionals, and other interested parties are invited to listen to presentations from MSU research and Extension faculty
Identifying Late Season Soybean Growth Stages
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.
Bacterial Panicle Blight of Rice Observed in Multiple Delta Fields
Bacterial panicle blight has been a rare disease in MS rice production systems. Over the past several years, bacterial panicle blight has only been observed in years when high temperatures occurred for extended periods of time during flowering. The specific
Rice Leaf Blast Confirmed in Mississippi
Leaf blast has been observed in the MS rice crop for the better part of the last three weeks. In most cases, lesions were observed in areas of fields where the floodwater was less than four inches.
Managing Palmer Amaranth on Field Borders
Controlling GR Palmer amaranth on turnrows and ditchbanks has become a critical component to weed control.
