Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mystery of Blank Soybean Pods and Disappointing Yields in 2026
Q: Is this enough temperature to shut down a soybean in R5?
A plant physiologist told Calhoun that the observed temperatures could shut down seed fill. The effect depends on how high the temperature is and how long it lasts, so there is no fixed threshold.
The Mystery of Blank Soybean Pods and Disappointing Yields in 2026
Q: So is there a rainfall event that lines up with any of it?
Calhoun found that one weather station recorded a substantial rain after an extended heat period, though other nearby stations recorded none. He says heat followed by heavy rain, or irrigation that saturates soil during heat stress, may have contributed, but the evidence does not establish a single cause.
What Are You Doing on Ryegrass and Johnsongrass?
Q: What do you tell a guy in the Mississippi Delta right now that's questioning you about ryegrass, and maybe has a history of questionable control with paraquat?
Whitt recommends carefully timing the fall burndown and applying residual herbicide while accounting for moisture, labor availability, and tillage practices. He notes that alternatives can also provide variable control.
What Are You Doing on Ryegrass and Johnsongrass?
Q: Why are applications failing in one county but not the other?
Whitt says the research shifted to investigate suspected paraquat resistance after reports of failed applications. Tests are underway on populations from Washington, Bolivar, and Sunflower counties, with results indicating resistance.
The Dulaney Family’s Century in Coahoma County
Q: What were you looking at the first time you went to Wayne's place?
They were likely examining soybean stems and scouting for root diseases like phytophthora; the visit set the tone for a long-running collaboration and observation mindset in the field.
