Weed Management Programs for Mississippi Soybean Production
Investigators
Objectives
- Evaluate new and/or currently registered herbicides and herbicide-resistant (HR) technologies for use in Mississippi soybean weed management programs
- Identify production practices that optimize GR Palmer amaranth control when RR2 Xtend soybean varieties are used
- Investigate use of residual herbicides
- Develop management suggestions for bog yellowcress and Virginia pepperweed in MS soybeans.
Expected End Results
Identification/development/dissemination of cost-effective control strategies for various weed control problems that occur in soybeans, to include control options for GR/HR weeds, management options to prevent or delay development of HR weeds, and assessment of new herbicide technologies and traits in consort with management practices that provide new weed management options.
