herbicide drift

⋅ BY JOHN LOVETT ⋅ UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE Farmers and agricultural aviators may be able to reduce herbicide drift by making simple adjustments, according to a recently published study. The study, published in Nature’s “Scientific Reports” journal late...

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...

The 2018 Mississippi State University Row Crop Short Course will feature speakers from seven states covering topics ranging from nematode management in cotton and soybeans to the potential effects of new tariffs on the state’s agricultural industry. The MSU Extension...

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...

With the first commercial fields of Provisia Rice planted this season, the University of Arkansas has added a new color to the Flag the Technology line-up to identify rice tolerant to Provisia Herbicide. Flag the Technology is a quick and...

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...

Pay attention to wind, several other factors to minimize off-target herbicide movement onto sensitive crops. By Vicky Boyd Editor As growers of other row crops have transitioned away from glyphosate because of resistance concerns, the timing and extent of herbicide drift damage to...
