Biological Pesticides as Part of an IPM Strategy--MSSOY White Paper
A case is made for and the current status of using biopesticides as part of an IPM strategy for commodity crops is presented.
42-2020 Lawrence Improving Agronomic Performance in Mississippi Soybean Production Systems Annual Report
Cool and wet conditions during planting season in Mississippi have led to non-uniform emergence of corn (Zea mays (L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]in recent years. In cases necessitating replanting, questions on herbicide treatments and application timings for termination of failed stands of corn and soybean were common. Therefore, research was conducted to identify optimum herbicide treatment and application timing combinations for control of simulated failed stands of corn and soybean.
62-2020 Improving dryland soybean yield, profit and health of dominant soils across Mississippi Annual Report
Because approximately 51% is grown under rainfed conditions, improving non-irrigated soybean yield and reducing production costs will be critical strategies for Mississippi producers to remain profitable.
58-2020 Catchot Management of Redbanded Stink Bug in MS Soybean Production Systems Final Report
The redbanded stink bug is capable of causing severe economic damage well after stink bug sprays are recommended to be terminated for our native species (R 6.5). Because this stink bug is cyclic in nature, many producers had terminated scouting during the 2017 season and sustained substantial economic damage from this pest. There were reports of several fields that were complete losses and many others with substantial deductions at the elevator from damage due to this pest. Redbanded stink bugs are extremely damaging and harder to control with commonly used insecticides. This project will outline objectives to better understand management tactics to manage RBSB in Mississippi to ensure profitability for growers.
56-2020-Chastain Evaluation of the Effects of Early Season Flooding on Soybean Growth and Yield, Physiology, and Economics Annual Report
While varieties for this breeding program have been evaluated in terms of yield response, a study of the mechanisms promoting flood tolerance has not been done.
53-2020-Popescu-Characterize Root Microbial Communities With Growth Promoting And Anti-Fungal Activities In Soybean Annual Report
Study aims to understand the diversity of rhizobiome microorganisms that cause specific phenotypes in soybeans, test rhizobiome isolates for beneficial activities, and utilize this knowledge to establish methods for improved growth and biological control of soil pathogens.
51-2020 Tseng Sicklepod Extract for Repellent of Deer and Insect Annual Report
Plants possess varying levels of herbivore defense mechanisms, and weeds, because of their vast genetic and phenotypic diversity, are excellent resources for anti-herbivore traits (especially against deer and insect pests). No one has tried to test the activity and effectiveness of these anti-herbivore compounds or plant extracts on crop protection.
44-2020 Determining Effect of Tank Mixtures of Chloroacetamide Herbicides and Glyphosate on Dicamba Volatility Final Report
Soybean injury by off-target-movement (OTM) of dicamba has become more widespread since introduction of the dicamba-resistant cropping system. Volatility is one form of dicamba OTM. Volatility is affected by an array of diverse factors ranging from environmental conditions, tank-mix partners, and application timing. With increasing use of tank-mix partners with dicamba and use in pre-mixed products, further research of tank-mix effects on dicamba volatility is needed.
