South Arkansas: Three fields (Arkansas, Chicot, and Desha Counties) have received N-STaR fertilizer applications and now have a permanent flood. Lee, Lonoke, and Phillips Counties started permanent flood this past week and should be close to completion. Monroe County is waiting on field to dry for N-STaR fertilizer application. Ashley County is waiting on the airplane for a post-emergence herbicide application. The last field, Jefferson County, is now in the 3-leaf stage.
North Arkansas: Three fields (Mississippi, St. Francis, and Cross Counties) have received nitrogen fertilizer applications and are either flooded up or are in the process of flooding up. One field, Mississippi County, did not require a post-emergence herbicide application before flood-up. Clay, Randolph, Lawrence, Independence, and White Counties are responding well to the warmer weather and all are expected to be ready for flood-up within the next two weeks.
