Tune in tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. to Good Idea Shop Talks, a free meet-up series via Zoom for ag producers who want to exchange ideas and advice for troubleshooting on-farm challenges related to improving soil and water resources. Register here: goodideafarm.org/shop-talks/

MEET DREC: Possibly the friendliest, most conscientious researcher in Stoneville is Himmy Lo, an agricultural engineer at NCAAR. His research centers on improving furrow irrigation in the Delta, but he loves working with our Youth Outreach Programs as well. #onlyatdrec

Mississippi has received a 14-day Crisis Exemption to use Intrepid 2F for fall armyworm control in rice.  View the label and read more at the Mississippi Crop Situation blog, found here: mississippi-crops.com/2024/07/11/cri…

Plots from the weed science team at DREC show the differences in timing of herbicide application. #onlyatdrec #mscrops

Tom’s got jokes. 😂

Tom Allen plants a rice seed treatment trial for Rhizoctonia, a fatal soilborne fungus that causes seedling disease. Researchers are testing commercial and experimental seed treatments from Corteva and Valent to see how efficacious they are on Rhizoctonia. #mscrops #onlyatdrec

Congratulations to Trey! 👏👏 we’re so proud!

We're rolling into the weekend like Will Eubank, an MSU doctoral candidate studying agronomy with researchers at DREC. He spent Thursday spraying postemergence herbicides on soybean. #onlyatdrec #mscrops

Our entomology crew planted cotton for trials examining the effects of thrips. Entomologist Tyler Towles said controlling thrips is part of an IPM program to prevent injury and delays in maturity. Read MSU's recommendations on managing thrips: mississippi-crops.com/2024/05/09/202… #mscrops

Jason and Tom discuss MSU researchers’ work to address off-target movement of paraquat in this week’s episode of the Crop Doctors Podcast.

Our warmest congratulations to Carson and Amilcar! 👏👏
