28-2021 Evaluating New Production Inputs that will contribute to High Yield Soybeans Final Report
Through observation and discussion with growers, there are a myriad of factors that limit yield. Oftentimes, these factors are things that cannot be adjusted mid-season such as drainage. With that being said, growers in some high yield environments want to increase profitability through different mid-season management strategies.
27-2021 Development of an Automated System to Incorporate Holes in Lay-Flat Irrigation Tubing During Initial Deployment in Mississippi Soybean Production Systems Annual Report
The ability to irrigate row crops from the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer (MRVAA) is crucial to the sustainability of soybean production in Mississippi and the Mid-South. However, groundwater is a limited resource; therefore, even in humid regions, groundwater must be prudently managed to ensure its continued viability and protect the ability to groundwater access for agricultural production.
25-2021Using Drones to Sample Insects in Soybeans Final Report
The use of drones in insect sampling has been studied in a few situations but is still in its infancy. Most drone sampling research to date has used imagery as the means of sampling, often measuring plant stress rather than counting insects directly. However, to make this monitoring method useful in regions like Mississippi with multiple potential pests causing similar injury, an insect recognition method is needed.
Herbicide MOAs--USB TakeAction 2022
The USB's TakeAction Program annually publishes a chart of herbicide MOAs that is designed to aid producers in selecting herbicides that will delay or prevent the evolvement of herbicide-resistant weeds.
22-2021 Cox Development of Fertilization Practices for Sustaining Mississippi Soybean Yield and Quality Final Report
Information regarding soybean yield response to in-season fertilizer-K application time is limited to growth stages prior to the onset of R1. Research is limited on new higher yielding soybean varieties that are on the market today. The objective of this study was to evaluate influences of in-season potassium application timing during reproductive growth stages on soybean yield on clay and silt-loam soils.
21-2021 Shankle Effect of Cover Cropping Systems on Dryland Soybean Plant-vigor, Growth, and Yield Annual Report
Therefore, the goals of this project were to evaluate various cover crops in conjunction with different planting dates and nutrient sources to determine the optimal combination for integrating cover crops into a cropping system.
20-2021 Bond Weed Management Programs for Mississippi Soybean Production Final Report
Mixing herbicides with different modes of action provides the potential for increased weed control and a reduction in application costs. However, some components of herbicide mixtures can synergize or antagonize others. Interactions between components of herbicide mixtures have been documented. It is important to identify effective programs for broad-spectrum weed control in these technologies. Recommendations for weed control in Mississippi soybean will originate from this research.
18-2021 Biochar seed coating as an approach for preventing root infection of soybean seedlings by Macrophomina phaseolina and other soil fungi final report
The proposed research is to determine if biochar, which is a type of charcoal produced as a soil amendment, can be used to protect germinating soybean seeds from root infection by fungi that use (-)-botryodiplodin or other charcoal-binding mycotoxins to facilitate root infection by killing meristematic tissue.
16-2021 Evaluation of overseeding of cover crops in dryland soybeans at different timings annual report
Cover crops can be used as a best management practice for reducing nutrient losses through erosion, runoff, and leaching, increasing organic matter in the soil by cover crop residues and ultimately, enhancing nutrient cycling and soil fertility
