Summary of the projects funded by the Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board for 2023 - 2024. Research is funded for the time period of April 1, 2023 - March 31, 2024. Research supported by the the growers checkoff.
63-2023 Dodds Pre Emergence Herbicide Program Thesis Final Report
Caleb Knox Meyer was the student studying under Dr.Darrin Dodds. His thesis Pre-emergence herbicide programs for weed control in soybean (Glycine max) and the effect of rainfall amount on herbicide activity is being presented in this article.
36-2023 Irby MSU Extension 2023 Soybean Variety Demonstrtion Trials Annual Report
This SMART Program annual report was conducted by Dr. Trent Irby and funded through the Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board. This MSPB supported research, on-farm soybean variety demonstrations is conducted throughout Mississippi.
23-2023 Burgess Seed Damage Results From MAFES Variety Trials
Seed damage is collected from several official MAFES variety trials planted across the state. The trials are harvested and collected seed are officially tested for seed damage. Plots are harvested as quickly as possible and seed damage is a measurement of conditions that happened from pod formation to harvest with no delay in harvesting.
01-2023 Cook Management of Soybean Insects Annual Report
Up to date non-biased information is critical for making any agricultural management decision, including insect management decisions. As production practices change, the impact of pests can change also. An example of this is greater risk from early season/soil insects as a result of reduced tillage and increased plant residue from the previous crop, native winter vegetation, and/or cover crops. Also, uncommon and unexpected insect pest issues can occur. For example, redbanded stink bug infestations were much more widespread during 2017 and 2022, and soybean looper during 2022. As a result, many studies were conducted with regard to management, damage potential, and treatment thresholds. Also, many current management tools are under reregistration review. It is possible that some of the older insecticides, which growers rely on, may have uses either restricted or revoked in the near future.

62-2022 Improving dryland soybean yield, profit, and health of dominant soils across Mississippi Final Report
The integration of cover crops and poultry manure into existing soybean cropping systems could potentially improve soil health in the east-central Mississippi. This study evaluated the influence of different cover crop species and fertilizer treatments on soil physical and soil chemical properties at the Pontotoc Ridge-Flatwoods Branch Experiment Station in Pontotoc County, MS. The study was initiated in October 2017 and carried out through October 2022. The field trials were conducted under no-tillage, rainfed conditions. The cover crop treatments included cereal rye, hairy vetch, winter wheat, mustard and cereal rye, and native vegetation. The three fertilizer treatments included poultry litter, commercial inorganic fertilizer and no fertilizer.
51-2022 Sicklepod extract formulations as natural and effective deer and insect repellent final report
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and compatibility of a sicklepod extract-herbicide tank-mix for deer and insect management in soybean crops. Field trials were conducted over multiple quarters, involving various treatments and measurements. The field trials examined the impact of different herbicide combinations on deer browsing and insect populations in soybean plots. Weeds were found to interfere with deer browsing, as glyphosate-treated plots without weed cover experienced the most damage. Insect data collection revealed the presence of leaf-chewing insects and other bugs.
