Prevention and Control of Palmer Amaranth in Cotton | Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri), a member of the "pigweed" family, is one of the most troublesome weeds in many southern row crops. Seed can germinate all season and plants can grow to over 6 feet in height. Plants have either male flowers that shed pollen or female flowers that can produce up to 600,000 seed per plant. One Palmer amaranth per 30 foot of row can reduce cotton yield by 6 to 12%. |

Getting Started in the Production of Field-Grown, Specialty Cut Flowers | Specialty cut flowers are one of the most profitable field
crops you can grow. Lynn Byczynski, editor of Growing
For Market newsletter (see Resources section),
estimates a value of $25,000 to $35,000 per acre for
field-grown cuts. The most basic requirements are at
least half an acre of open, arable land, a rototiller, and,
of course, time and effort. This publication is directed to
those new to market gardening, but commercial vegetable
growers, tobacco farmers, and young people interested
in summer income are all potential candidates.
Even grain and livestock farmers have increased profitability
in their operations by adding cut flower production.
For many greenhouse and nursery operations,
mid-summer business is slower, relative to spring. A
field-grown cut flower business is a viable option to fill
in the summer production and cash flow gap. |

Integrated Pest Management Peanut Scouting Manual | In the competitive global peanut market, you need to lower production costs. At the same time, you also need to keep pesticide residues in peanuts to a minimum; protect rivers, streams, and lakes from runoff; and prevent chemicals from leaching through the soil to groundwater. Using IPM to protect crops only from pests that are likely to cause economic losses is a good way to meet these goals.

The Peanut Southern Corn Rootworm Advisory | The southern corn rootworm (SCR) has long been considered
a major pest of peanuts in North Carolina and Virginia.
However, researchers and Extension faculty at Virginia
Tech and NC State have determined through more than 400
commercial field trials that the majority of peanut fields
do not need to be treated. They have developed and tested
a simple-to-use advisory that identifies those fields not at
risk for pod damage or economic loss. The Southern Corn
Rootworm Advisory can save you time and money as well as
help you use insecticides more efficiently. |

Corn Earworm Biology and Management in Soybeans | Corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea, is the most common and destructive insect pest of soybeans grown in Virginia. Although infestation severity varies, about one-third of our acreage is treated annually. This costs farmers 1.5 to 2 million dollars annually, and requires the application of many pounds of insecticide to crop lands. We may never eliminate this pest from Virginia soybeans, but knowledge of the biology and use of best management practices can help limit insecticide controls to those fields that meet economic threshold criteria. This publication provides current information on corn earworm biology, prediction of outbreaks, pest advisories, scouting procedures, and recently revised economic thresholds. |

Soil Test Note #2 - Field Crops | Most Virginia soils are acidic and require lime applications at three- to five-year intervals. Maintaining the correct soil pH has several benefits, such as encouraging healthy root development and making sure nutrients in the soil are available to the plant. For example, low pH can cause aluminum toxicity and can decrease phosphorus availability. |

Weed Control in Hops | Because hops are long-lived perennials, controlling weeds near plants without causing injury can
be challenging. Furthermore, empty spaces between rows can quickly become filled with weeds if
left unmanaged. Growers therefore need a year-round weed management plan. An important part of that plan is identifying the common weeds at the site and understanding their life cycles. Once
weeds have been identified, a management plan can be developed using cultural, chemical, or
integrated approaches. |

Soybean Reproductive Development Stages | Remove the soybean plant at ground level to make it easier to stage. Examine each main stem node one at a time to determine the development stage. Focus on the top four nodes that contain fully developed leaves (shown below). A fully developed leaf is one that is located immediately below a node containing a leaf with unrolled or unfolded leaflets (leaflet edges are no longer touching). The soybean crop is considered to be at a particular stage when 50% of the plants reach that stage. Listed with stage description for R1 through R6 are the approximate number of days to R7, or physiological maturity, for full season (FS) soybean planted in May and double crop (DC) soybean planted in June/July. |

Double Cropping Soybeans In Virginia | Double cropping is simply growing and harvesting two
crops in one year. In the mid-Atlantic region of the United
States, soybeans are commonly double-cropped after a
winter small-grain crop, usually wheat. However, double
cropping is not limited to the small-grain-soybean system.
Other crops, such as grain sorghum or even corn, could
fit into a double-cropping system with small grains.
Soybean can be grown after other winter crops, such
as canola, or after a spring crop, such as snap beans.
As long as both crops can complete their development
in time to allow profitable production of the entire system,
numerous double-cropping systems are possible. |

Nitrogen and Sulfur Leaching Potential in Virginia | Early summer often means locally heavy and sporadic rainfall as thunderstorms deliver intense rains, and 2015 appears to be no different with many areas in eastern Virginia receiving 3+ inches of rain in a few days (Figure 1). These storms also often coincide with the timing of sidedress nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) applications on corn. While some rainfall after sidedress is very beneficial to facilitate N movement into soil, heavy rain (2+ inches) often leaves us wondering how much, if any, of that recently-applied N remains and if additional N is needed. |

The Soil and Me: A Perspective on Soil Health | Soil is the foundation upon which our natural
living world depends; it is otherwise known as the
dynamic material that civilization is built on (Lindbo,
Kozlowski, and Robinson 2012). Soil serves diverse
functions that are critical to the survival of humanity;
without the soil, life on earth is inconceivable. It
represents the critical zone of the earth where life,
water, minerals, and air intersect and interact (fig. 1)
because the soil constantly relates with other parts
of nature. The soil is considered a living, dynamic
resource at the earth’s surface and has been defined as
“the unconsolidated mineral or organic material on the
immediate surface of the earth that serves as a natural
medium for the growth of land plants” (SSSA 2015).
The thickness or depth of this surface or layer varies
with the type and environment of the soil. |

certain stages may hinder growth and lower yield, and insect pests may
damage the crop at one stage but not another. The information below can
help you determine the proper timing of various management practices. |

Importance of Farm Phosphorus Mass Balance and Management Options | Phosphorus is a naturally occurring element that is one
of 16 elements essential for plant growth and animal
health. Research has documented that applying phosphorus
in fertilizers or manure increases crop growth and
yield on soils that are below critical agronomic levels,
as measured during routine soil testing. Although the
economic benefits of phosphorus fertilization on crop
production are well-documented, too much of a good
thing can be detrimental to the environment. Excessive
soil phosphorus is a potential threat to water quality. |

Advanced Irrigation Management for Container-Grown Ornamental Crop Production | Container-grown plants are constrained with regard to root growth, and are affected by factors including container size, substrate, weather, nutrition, and irrigation. Typical soilless substrates will hold less plant-available water than a typical field soil, making water management a critical component of any container-grown plant production system. A well-designed and managed irrigation system, which works in concert with the aforementioned factors, can provide the necessary quantity of water to support plant growth in an efficient manner. |
