MSSOY Updates--May 2017

The United Soybean Board (USB) has produced a list of BMP’s to use when applying auxin herbicides to auxin-tolerant crops. The article, titled “Managing 2,4-D and Dicamba in Enlist and Xtend Soybean”, is a component resource of USB’s “Take Action Against Herbicide-Resistant Weeds” program. This four-page article contains all pertinent information that should be considered when using these herbicides. Technical editing was provided by Drs. Bish and Bradley of the Univ. of Missouri, and Dr. Bill Johnson of Purdue Univ.

The “Doublecropping in the Midsouth” White Paper on this website has been updated with links to 2017 Pest Management Guides pertaining to both soybean and wheat. These resources are also posted in the Referenced Items section of this page.

There is a new resource on MSSOY titled “Pest Management Guides–2017" that contains links to 2017 Weed, Insect, and Disease Management/Control Guides from Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The Mississippi weed and insect guides and the Arkansas guide for diseases are also shown for soybean specifically.
