Weed Control for Crops

Mississippi’s climate—heat, humidity, and abundant rains—creates near-perfect growing conditions for row crops such as rice, soybean, corn, and cotton; those conditions, however, allow pervasive weeds to take root as well. MSU Extension specialists help growers combat common Mississippi weeds such as Palmer amaranth, Italian ryegrass, barnyardgrass, and johnsongrass by sharing the latest data on pre- and postemergence herbicide programs, new technologies, crop injury, crop rotation, and herbicide-resistant weeds.
