Foliar Fertilization of Soybeans--MSSOY White Paper
A White Paper discussing the pros and cons of foliar fertilization of soybeans is presented.
28-2019 Crop Rotations and Risk Management for Mississippi Soybean Producers Final Report
Crop rotations are economically significant on both the mean and variance of expected crop yields. This is because an effective crop rotation reduces year-to-year pest pressure, replenish soil nutrients, and increase plant vitality. Soybeans play a unique role in these rotation schemes by fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. In the research, we study the role of crop rotations in farmers’ risk management decisions. Specifically, we aim to answer the question: as farmers face unknown future prices, unpredictable weather, and uncertain yields, how do crop rotations’ agronomic effects impact farmers’ optimal planting decisions? And beyond that: what is the economic value of optimizing crop rotations for a soybean farmer?

Whole Farm Conservation Best Practices Manual--ISU & USDA-NRCS
In 2019, the Conservation Learning Group held summits to build consensus on the best management recommendations for farmers and landowners to adopt for conservation and water quality practices. The resulting manual titled “Whole Farm Conservation Best Practices Manual” is intended to be a one-stop source to help decision makers select and incorporate in-field and edge-of-field conservation practices best suited for their land and preferences. The manual provides a science-based outline to support a conservation planning process and adoption.

Delta Plastics Resources
Delta Plastics is the leading supplier of polytubing used for surface irrigation of Delta crops. Links to their extensive irrigation resources are provided.
Preemergence Herbicide Stewardship--ISU
The advent of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds has increasingly led to the recommendation that producers should use preemergence (PRE) or soil-applied herbicides to increase the mode-of-action variability in the battle to control HR weeds. PRE herbicides are applied to the soil to prevent weeds seeds from germinating and emerging. Thus, the soil is the interceptor of these herbicides vs. the plant which is the interceptor of herbicides that are applied to emerged and growing weeds either before or after crop planting and emergence. Dr. Bob Hartzler of Iowa State Univ. provides details about how PRE herbicides will react with soil and perform based on that reaction.
