How to deal with Glyphosate Resistance and Weed Issues in Corn
Increasing populations of glyphosate-resistant and other herbicide-resistant weed species demand we adapt our corn weed control systems to address specific issues and prevent new ones. This may require you to implement strategies for a specific weed, plan on multiple herbicide applications, and improve your application timing.
Will Corn Sustain Injury from Sand-Blasting?
Strong winds sand-blasted young, emerged corn plants in many fields this week. Fortunately, corn can sustain considerable vegetative damage during early growth stages without limiting development or yield.
Identifying Glyphosate Drift Injury on Wheat Plants
Identifying off-target herbicide injury may be difficult when a definitive pattern is not readily apparent, substantial acreage is involved, or distance is considerable. This article gives some guidelines and photos to help identify glyphosate drift on wheat, so that you can manage appropriately.
Key Corn Verification Findings
One of the objectives of this program is to identify key production limitations, so the Mississippi State University Extension Service and Experiment Station can better direct efforts to develop innovations for our specific problems. This is a summary of such limitations documented during the past few years.
How to Plant Corn for Higher Yields
Corn is quite unique because much of its potential productivity is determined during the planting process. Thus, corn is often much more responsive or dependent on variables implemented during the planting than other Southern crops. This article gives planting guidelines for enhancing corn profitability.
2010 Row Crop Short Course Video Links
The 2010 Row Crop Short Course was held at Mississippi State University on December 6 – 8, 2010. As we expanded the Short Course in 2009, we also have adopted technology to record the oral and visual portions of the presentations.
Spring Nitrogen Fertility Suggestions for Wheat
There are several keys to successful wheat nitrogen fertilization in Mississippi. Split application of nitrogen fertilizer is likely more important for wheat than any other crop, including corn. This is because wheat nitrogen fertilization occurs during the wettest months of the year – in a high rainfall, warm regional climate conducive to nitrogen loss.
2010 Soybean And Corn Variety Trial Data
We have posted our official variety trial results for soybeans and corn. You’ll find a link at the bottom of this post that will take you to our variety trial listings for both crops. The results are available as both
