Researchers are learning how to manage rice fields when paraquat drifts onto them early and late in the season, but what impact this herbicide has on grain quality and what happens when drift occurs midseason are still unknowns. These questions...

Greenville, Mississippi native and Mississippi State University weed science graduate student Tameka Sanders is working hard to understand the relationship between off-target movement of herbicides and rice development. Sanders’s journey towards studying rice at MSU was a winding one. She...

• By Vicky Boyd, Editor • Soybean growers applying harvest aids near rice should pay special attention to minimize drift, which can potentially cause significant rice yield reductions even late in the season, says Justin McCoy, a Mississippi State University graduate...

Rice remains sensitive to soybean harvest-aid drift late into the season, according to MSU research. By Vicky Boyd, Editor — For the past few seasons, Mississippi State University Extension Rice Agronomist Bobby Golden and MSU graduate student Justin McCoy have received...

Early season rice injury due to off-target preemergence soybean herbicides has been a continual issue in the Mississippi Delta over the past several years. In the past, most of the early season issues centered on glyphosate drift, but with...

Pay attention to avoid drift when applying soybean desiccants around rice fields, even those that are near draining and appear finished. By Bobby Golden Generally, this time of year we discuss midseason to harvest management options for our rice crop. But...
