2,4-D As a Burndown Herbicide
Just to prove that 2,4-D labels can be confusing, plantback restrictions were listed correctly in the previous post, but formulations were not specified.

UPDATED CONTENT: Dicamba and 2,4-D Plantback Restrictions
With the cold, wet weather, many burndown herbicide applications were delayed. This has led to a multitude of questions on plantback restrictions for 2,4-D and dicamba prior to planting corn and soybeans.
Thinking About Planting Medium-grain Rice?
In Mississippi, research indicates that management of medium-grain varieties is similar to that of long-grain varieties.

Italian Ryegrass Control in Winter Wheat
Italian ryegrass is a serious weed in wheat production and continues to spread across much of Mississippi. The increasing prevalence of Italian ryegrass in grower fields is compounded by the lack of control from many commonly used herbicides, such as ALS inhibitors and glyphosate.
Harvest Aid Options in Soybean
While weeds can create problems for harvest equipment, many producers see the benefit of a harvest aid in creating a more rapid and efficient harvest in the absence of weeds

Soybean Seedling Issues: Seedling Disease Versus Herbicide Injury
Within the past week to 10 days, numerous fields have been diagnosed as having “Pythium seedling disease”. In most cases, herbicide injury has resulted in fields appearing to have an uneven stand as a result of seedling disease. Rarely would a seedling disease be responsible for large acreages of dead seedlings. More than likely, a combination of events have occurred to cause the appearance of seedling disease. Preemergence herbicides, cool temperatures, excessive rainfall following planting immediately prior to emergence, light soil texture, and herbicide injury on stressed soybean seedlings have all compounded the stressful situation.
Corn Replanting Guidelines and Management Issues with Wet Weather
Unrelenting rainfall continues to delay much field-related progress. This article gives suggestions for making corn replant decisions and keeping up with crop needs, such as nitrogen fertilizer application.
Chase the Sprayer with the Planter

Fall Residual Herbicides: A Double Edged Sword
Fall-applied residual herbicides went out on a significant amount of acreage in Mississippi during the fall of 2012. In some cases, such as where glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass is present, these applications are key components for optimizing weed control. However, in
