48-2023 Drewry Development of best practices for collection and post-processing of yield monitor data Annual Report
The long-term goal is to increase the sustainability of soybean production by adopting precision technology to lower inputs, increase yields, reduce off-target application, reduce operator fatigue, etc. The overall objective of this project is to support producers in improving the quality of their yield monitor data though the development of best practices. Some data suggests that unprocessed and processed data differ in average yield; however, data is needed about the within field variation using different post-processing techniques. Providing agricultural consultants and producers with best practices in generating high quality data to aid in decision making.
20-2023 Bond Weed Management Annual Report
Glyphosate resistance has spread with documented cases in 51 species worldwide. Fifteen species in the United States have developed resistance to glyphosate, and Mississippi populations of horseweed, Italian ryegrass, johnsongrass, Palmer amaranth, tall waterhemp, giant and common ragweed, goosegrass, spiny amaranth, and barnyardgrass have evolved resistance to glyphosate. Ten glyphosate-resistant (GR) species is among the highest of any state in the United States.
28-2023 cook Insect Management Strategies Sawyer Hopkins Thesis
Soybean looper and corn earworm are economically damaging pests in Mississippi soybeans. Chemical control plays a large role in the control of these pests. Some producers have started applying an automatic co-application of insecticide and fungicide at the R3 growth stage. Insect growth regulators are a commonly used insecticide for this management strategy. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of insect growth regulators on soybean looper and corn earworm mortality when applied with an automatic fungicide application at the R3 growth stage in soybean. Insecticide treatments included methoxyfenozide, diflubenzuron, and novaluron. These insect growth regulators showed very little control and mortality, especially when compared to Chlorantraniliprole, which has become an industry standard for control of lepidopteran pest control of in soybean. The automatic application of an insect growth regulator insecticide with a fungicide at the R3 growth was not viable for economic insect management strategies.
06-2023 Rushing Impacts of cover cropping system on soybean grain yield, soil health, forage production, and animal performance final report
Agriculture is faced with challenges and opportunities that are impacted by a range of societal and ecological concerns about how the world and its people can be sustained. There is a growing awareness that the stability and resiliency of our agricultural landscapes appear to be impaired by enterprise specialization, concentration of operations, and expansion of scale, which can disrupt energy and nutrient cycles beyond natural processes. In Mississippi, opportunities exist to combine crop and livestock enterprises in a manner that imparts major benefits to the environment, while simultaneously generating more revenue for agricultural producers. These integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) can potentially increase crop yields, enhance natural resource utilization, exploit natural pest control processes, reduce nutrient concentrations and environmental risk, improve soil health parameters, and provide alternative sources of revenue through livestock marketing.

29-2023 Delta Weather Station Annual Report
Agricultural weather data are needed by producers, researchers, and policy makers to make decisions daily. Producers utilize the data for critical management decisions about tillage, planting, crop protection applications, irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting. Researchers require agriculture weather data to analyze test products, verify field data, and compare different data sets to each other. Policy makers use agricultural weather data in reports from county agriculture statistics to worldwide agriculture supply and demand estimates.
