Here is a look at the Furrow Irrigation Rice trials from across the Delta. Different methods are being used by growers to install furrows in these fields. Some of these field were rowed up in the fall, some pulled furrows
Soybean root diseases have started to be observed in the Delta. Over the past week several calls have been received regarding the presence of southern blight. Dead seedlings along with white mycelial growth below the soil line is a common observation in fields where southern blight occurs.
Mississippi State University will be hosting 2 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.
Thought this would be an excellent opportunity to show some newly emerged soybeans planted no-till into an previous furrow irrigated rice field. Asked the grower this morning about what cultural practices he followed before planting? He commented, “ran the combine”.
The most important piece of data for running Pipe Planner is flow from your water sources. Gathering this piece of information can sometimes be difficult. If you are currently seeking where to get a flow meter, please see the attached
In 2017, we were able to accurately predict the threat of RBSB based on sampling ditch banks in the spring. Every year we sample ditch banks across the state to make collections of various insect pests. With most pests, such
This article lists grain sorghum hybrids which have produced superior yields in the Mississippi Grain Sorghum Hybrid Trials and neighboring University trials. This information should improve your ability to select well-adapted sorghum hybrids for Mississippi based on independent performance testing.
Over the years many have questioned whether the use of a seed treatment is considered IPM because they are used prior to the onset of a problem. In our area, and across most of the cotton belt, thrips are considered
As the 2018 cotton season approaches, it is a good time to look back at 2017. From an insect management standpoint, the number one thing that stands out about last year is the amount of foliar sprays that were made
In 2017, we were able to accurately predict the threat of RBSB based on sampling ditch banks in the spring. Every year we sample ditch banks across the state to make collections of various insect pests. With most pests, such
We have had a couple of calls from consultants and growers this week about utilizing furrow irrigated rice as an option if planting or levee construction is delayed due to rain. With an additional 2-5 inches of rainfall forecast for
I have recently received a few call about slugs in corn. I suspect this will increase in more crops as planting continues and they begin to emerge. Slug problems usually start on corn first, then move to soybeans, then cotton in our area.
The Row-Crop Irrigation Science and Extension Research (RISER) was developed as a science based approach to evaluating irrigation Best Management Practices (BMPs) here in the Delta. The RISER program is designed to assist producers in reducing water use while maintaining
The MSU MG V OVT soybean locations were evaluated for disease during the 2017 season. Multiple diseases were rated at multiple locations and are provided in this post by herbicide trait. Cercospora blight, Septoria brown spot and target spot were the three most commonly encountered diseases during the season.

Data from “on farm” trials are helping MSU Researchers understand some of the yield perimeters associated with furrow irrigated rice. If you ask experienced furrow irrigated rice producers one thing is clear, they recognize only a small, if any, yield
Producing rice in a “rowed-up” manner as other row crops such as corn, soybean, and cotton was a foreign concept just a couple of years ago. Row rice or furrow irrigated rice was initially investigated by MSU Researchers as an

Southern corn producers often face challenges during planting that can drastically affect the stand achieved and ultimately the productivity of the crop. This article provides guidelines and tips for having a successful planting season.
The Irrigation Team at MSU was requested in 2016 to investigate the effects of flood and furrow irrigation by interested farmers. Traditionally, many rice farmers chose to flood irrigate their soybeans. Rice farmers were accustom to pulling levees in rice

Considering the 6 plus inches of rain we had the last 24 hours, irrigation is the last thing on most folks minds. While we have some time around the shop the next few weeks, here are some things to
