Bollworm counts held steady this week overall at a level about normal for this time of year. Some counties increased compared to last week while other counties decreased. Tobacco budworm counts were very low again this week, with no counties
Over the last few weeks there have been many questions about the legality of mixing insecticides with desiccants applied to soybean. There are several desiccants approved for soybean including Gramoxone, sodium chlorate, Aim 2EC, and Sharpen. There are no issues
Information contained in this blog post to aid in the numerous questions regarding seed quality. Seed quality is a moving target and one that is primarily dictated by environment.
Trap catches were up sharply in the Delta region this week. We are now four weeks since the last large bollworm moth flight, so this increase in moth numbers is no surprise. Tobacco budworm catches remained extremely low in the

Bollworm moth trap counts were lower in every monitored county across the state this week compared to last week and lower than historic averages for this time of year. Tobacco budworm moth catches were also low, so new bollworm and
As we suspected, now that the earliest planted soybeans are winding down on substantial acres and desiccants are being applied, we are seeing Redbanded Stink Bug (RBSB) make a move into later planted soybeans on wider scale. The number one
Bollworm trap counts rose in most counties this week, particularly in the Northeastern Hills region of the state. Numbers are typical for this time of the year and susceptible crops may need to be sprayed. Tobacco budworm counts were low
The MSU-DREC Rice Producer Field Day will be held on August 2, at the Delta Research and Extension Center at 3:00 p.m. The program will begin at the Capps center with updates from USA Rice by guest speaker Betsy Ward
Bollworms have certainly been the hot topic in cotton and later planted soybeans this year. This flight started in some areas the week of July 4th and peaked in the Southern Delta around July 10-15. Since that time it has
Bollworm moth trap catches fell dramatically in the Delta region this week, signalling the end of moth emergence from the generation that developed on corn. There were still enough moths caught that susceptible crops can have an infestation, but pressure
Bollworm moth counts in the Delta rose dramatically during the last week, consistent with scouting reports, so growers should expect high egg and larval counts in susceptible crops. Every county averaged more than 100 moths per trap for the week
We saw a surge in RBSB numbers a few weeks ago into March planted soybeans that were approaching R6 growth stage but since then populations have moderated. Just in the last few days we are now seeing another big surge moving into
Spider mite numbers have been increasing across much of the state over the last several weeks in cotton. There have been a number of fields treated and several fields that have more than one application this year. As conditions remain
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.
Bollworm catches were higher at all Delta locations this week while holding steady in the Hills region. Tobacco budworm catches were low at most locations.
The bulk of our soybeans are going to outrun the current bollworm flight. Over the last 5-7 days we are getting reports of above threshold numbers of bollworms in soybeans. This is pretty much restricted to the soybeans that are R2-R4. We
We have sprayed several fields in the last 2 weeks for RBSB’s. To date, most fields have been late March planted beans that are R5.5-R6 growth stage. Most of the fields so far have been south of Hwy 82, but
For the last 7-10 days we have flushed numerous bollworm moths in cotton around the state and are commonly picking up eggs and small larvae in places. We have had numerous calls from consultants seeing the same thing and several have
