Row crops and melons are moving along, as we are reaching the end of cotton and peanut planting in the county. Wheat harvest got a good start, and slowed down when some of the rain came. Rains have been scattered and it is dry in most of the county at this time; many growers have been running irrigation to keep moisture to the crops. For the most part, cotton and peanut stands have been good this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week Southern corn rust (SCR) was confirmed in Georgia – first in Wayne County on June 1st, and then in Grady County on June 2nd. For more information, see “Southern Rust Confirmed in Georgia”<\/a>. We will try to keep growers updated on progress of the disease.

The “Cotton, Peanut, and Soybean Insect Scout Schools”<\/a> will be in Tifton at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center on Monday, June 6, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 12:30 p.m. Interested persons can attend – there is no registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week we planted a couple of trials in Worth County. We have an on-farm cotton variety trial that will compare 14 of the latest varieties. Also, this is the second year of on-farm peanut trials to show the effects of various rates of in-furrow fertilizer on peanut germination and emergence (fertilizer in-furrow is not recommended by UGA Extension); our graduate assistant, Macie Wheeler, is working on these trials with Dr. Scott Monfort. More information will be forthcoming for peanut growers as a result of this work. Below are some pictures from the trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
