A 40 cent weekend gain took the Arkansas 2012 cash soybean market to a Monday opening average of $14.81, but the week was downhill after that before stabilizing on Friday (Figure 1). Market price bottomed out on Thursday at $14.27 before coming back 7 cents on Friday to close at $14.34, a 7 cent Continue reading Soybean cash market and forward booking prices in Arkansas for April 29-May 3, 2013 May 3, 2013 No. 2013-6 Dr. Jarrod Hardke and Dr. Yeshi Wamishe Planting Forecast Rain is a four-letter word these days, if you catch my drift. Quite frankly I’m getting tired of writing it. I don’t want to talk too bad about it or it might up and disappear when we really need it. Continue reading Arkansas Rice Update 5-3-13 Aphid infestations don’t usually show up in seedling rice to any great degree. Usually they start in wheat or wild hosts and move into rice. We have seen greenbug in rice in years past, but usually they are not a huge rice problem; however, one to two-leaf rice can be killed when 2-3 greenbugs Continue reading Pest alert: Aphids showing up in Arkansas rice fields Stripe rust is still increasing on susceptible varieties at locations where it blew in during the spring. The most susceptible varieties are Arcadia, Progeny 117, Progeny 185, and USG 3993. Except for a few fields, stripe rust does not appear to be having a significant impact on yield because of adult-plant resistance and one Continue reading Wheat disease update – May 3, 2013 With more wet weather and an unprecedented cold front coming through, conditions are right to see some injury from rice herbicides. One particular “no-no” is Newpath on hybrid Clearfield when conditions are like this. I would, in fact, avoid the use of ALS chemistry in general on rice until it warms up a bit. Continue reading Cold, wet weather optimal for herbicide injury in rice This Monday’s (4/29/13) USDA Crop Weather Report merely stated the obvious. Not much if any cotton has been planted in Arkansas. The report stated that 2% of the state’s cotton crop had been planted. This number is well below last year at this time (46%) and the five year average (20%). With the calendar Continue reading Unfavorable weather causes Arkansas’ cotton planting forecast to deteriorate April 25, 2013 No. 2013-5 Dr. Jarrod Hardke, Dr. Yeshi Wamishe, and Dr. Paul Counce Planting Forecast Actual progress was actually being made. It wasn’t necessarily fast but it definitely seemed furious. The early part of the week was certainly prime time. Wednesday’s rainfall slowed some more than others. A few people were working Continue reading Arkansas Rice Update 4-25-13 The Arkansas 2012 cash soybean market fell 11 cents over last weekend and opened on Monday at $14.29. Market price trended generally higher each day, throwing off a sharp loss on Wednesday to resume its upward trend to a Friday close of $14.41, one cent above the previous Friday closing price (Figure 1). Market Continue reading Soybean cash market and forward booking prices in Arkansas for April 22-26, 2013 For the week ending April 23, 2013, the USDA/NASS reported 4.3 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture supplies were 2 percent short, 62 percent adequate, and 36 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 70 percent adequate and 22 percent surplus. Low temperatures ranged from 30 to 44 Continue reading Arkansas soybean update – April 26, 2013 As glyphosate-resistant weeds continue to be a major concern for soybean producers in Arkansas, many producers are relying on residual herbicides for control of problem weeds like Palmer amaranth. Metribuzin (Sencor/Lexone) is a PSII inhibitor (Group 5) herbicide that provides residual control of a number of annual grasses and broadleaf species. Metribuzin is especially Continue reading Metribuzin tolerance in soybean |
