Characterization And Management Of Auxin-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Tennessee, Delaney C. Foster
Characterization And Management Of Auxin-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Tennessee, Delaney C. Foster
Doctoral Dissertations
Palmer amaranth has a long history of evolving resistance to herbicides to the point it has become a significant row crop production obstacle. Cotton and soybean growers were offered new technologies in 2016, expanding in-crop herbicide options to include dicamba or 2,4-D. Within three years of commercialization, dicamba use in these crops increased ten-fold and growers began to report Palmer amaranth escapes in west Tennessee auxin-tolerant production systems. A survey of Palmer amaranth escapes in dicamba and 2,4-D-tolerant cotton and soybean fields in Tennessee was conducted in the fall of 2021 with the objective of determining if poor control was …
Fungicide Sensitivity Screening Of Corynespora Cassiicola In Us Soybean And Cotton, Tyler Miles Smith
Fungicide Sensitivity Screening Of Corynespora Cassiicola In Us Soybean And Cotton, Tyler Miles Smith
Doctoral Dissertations
Target spot, caused by the fungus Corynespora cassiicola, is a foliar disease of cotton and soybean. Target spot has become a disease of concern in soybean and cotton production systems. Data for fungicide sensitivity and understanding potential impact on yield is lacking for C. cassiicola. Fungicide resistance is also a concern in C. cassiicola with the increase in resistant pathogens in soybean. With the lack of knowledge about baseline fungicide sensitivity and the concern of fungicide resistance the objectives of this study were: (i) to evaluate fungicide products and mixes in small plot soybean and cotton trials, (ii) …
