W213 Sencor™ Tolerance Ratings For Selected Wheat Varieties, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
W213 Sencor™ Tolerance Ratings For Selected Wheat Varieties, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Bluegrass (aka Poa) and broadleaf winter annuals like henbit have caused serious yield loss in some wheat fields the last several years. In cases where these weeds were a problem, they became established before or with the wheat. If Poa or henbit becomes established with the wheat, it can deter tillering and readily compete for nitrogen. One way to manage these weeds is to apply Sencor at 3 to 4 oz/a postemergence over the wheat that is at 2 to 41f. This timing of a Sencor application has been a very inexpensive way to manage bluegrass and broadleaf weeds like …

W072 Mature Pigweed Identification, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
W072 Mature Pigweed Identification, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Pigweed species are most easily identified when they are nearing maturity. The flowering structures of pigweeds are relatively distinct for each individual species. The flowering structure (seedheads) of many pigweeds is a series of flowering branches with few to no leaves. They typically vary between species by their length, diameter, degree of branching and shape. At harvest time, it is helpful to correctly identify the pigweeds in your fields. This information can provide changes in next year’s weed management program to better control pigweeds.
The following are some guidelines to help with pigweed identification. It should be noted, however, that …

Field & Commercial Crops
Amaranthus is the genus for the pigweed family. The word is derived from the Greek word amarantus, which means “everlasting.” Most growers would agree that this is a very accurate description for the pigweeds. In Tennessee, over the last decade, pigweeds have become a major weed pest in row crops and pastures.

Grasshoppers may at times become serious pests on ornamentals, vegetable and field crops. Grasses and other herbaceous plants are the most common food for these pests, but after those hosts are consumed the grasshoppers often turn to feeding on vegetables, field crops or on leaves and even tender bark of shrubs and trees.

Field & Commercial Crops
The sugarcane beetle is an occasional pest of field corn in Tennessee. Infestations have been spotty to date and not too damaging in terms of stand and yield losses. However, the beetle caused serious damage in corn during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons. The fields affected were corn planted into pasture, sod or no-till and some conventional tillage corn.

W221-Mid-South Multi-State Evaluation Of Treatment Thresholds For Tarnished Plant Bug In Pre-Flowering Cotton, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Prior to bloom, the primary hemipteran pest of cotton in the Mid-South is the tarnished plant bug (TPB). Cotton fleahopper and clouded plant bug are other hemipteran pests that are occasionally observed. These pests reduce yields by feeding on squares (flower buds), which often shed. Mid-sized or larger squares may not shed, but feeding injury is generally evident in the form of yellow staining on the surface of the square and damaged anthers in flowers (i.e., dirty blooms). Square loss can delay maturity and sometimes reduce yield. Delays in crop maturity, even when not causing yield loss, can increase mid-and …

W075-Cotton Defoliation Timing, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Defoliation is an often-overlooked process that, if done properly, can pay large dividends. Defoliation is relatively easy in some situations and extremely difficult in others. Defoliation is the application of chemicals to encourage or force cotton leaves to drop from the plant, allowing harvest of the crop in a timely manner. Proper defoliation requires a balancing act between killing the leaves too quickly or not affecting the leaf at all. Successful defoliation requires that the leaf must stay alive long enough to begin the formation of an abscission zone, resulting in leaf drop. Killing the leaf too rapidly results in …

Field & Commercial Crops
Traditionally, cotton planting in Tennessee starts near the end of April and continues until mid-May, with the bulk of the cotton planted during the first and second weeks of May. Oftentimes, producers are forced to plant outside of these recognized windows. Although Tennessee has recently experienced longer than normal growing seasons and higher than average DD-60 accumulation, long-term historical data shows that in 50 percent of the last 30 years, a killing freeze could occur during the second and third weeks of October (Table 1). Fortunately, early-maturing varieties, Bt cotton for worm control and boll weevil eradication allow for a …
