Field Crops, Forage and Turfgrass Production
-
A farm’s return on investment is directly affected by the way water is applied to its crops. The wrong end-gun settings can result in overwatering or underwatering large portions of field acres. Clogged or partially clogged nozzles lead to obvious water shortages that can be visually observed or measured using yield monitors. Systems not properly checked and maintained can lead to significant losses in potential income. This irrigation reference guide will contain information provided by UGA Extension recommended irrigation scheduling rates for corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans. The guide will also recognize specific center pivot application issues and how to correct them.

This research report presents results of the 2019-2020 performance tests of small grains grown for grain and forage. Grain evaluation studies were conducted at five locations in Georgia, including Tifton, Plains, and Midville in the Coastal Plain region; Athens in the Piedmont region; and Rome in the Limestone Valley region. An additional study was conducted at Citra, Florida. Winter annual forage tests were conducted at all Georgia grain sites except Midville, and also at Headland and Clanton, Alabama. Multiple tests were lost this year due to the impact of Covid-19 on university operations. For identification of the test locations, consult the map inside the back cover of this report.

Grazon® P+D (picloram + 2,4-D) injury, diagnosed as leaf roll, is occasionally observed in Georgia peanut fields due to the presence of contaminated soil, forage, animal waste (manure/urine), and/or irrigation water. Since peanut plants are very tolerant of low levels of 2,4-D, the primary cause of these leaf roll symptoms is picloram. When this injury occurs, growers are often concerned about how it can potentially influence final peanut yield.

L’arachide est cultivée en Haïti depuis au moins 500 ans et remonte très probablement à la préhistoire. Selon Bartolomé de las Casas, un prêtre qui a accompagné Christophe Colomb lors de son expédition dans le Nouveau Monde et qui est accrédité avec la première description écrite de l’arachide, les Amérindiens indigènes ont cultivé l’arachide comme culture vivrière sur l’île d’Hispaniola avant l’arrivée des Européens. La production d’arachides en Haïti a continué jusqu’à nos jours. C’est une culture populaire parce qu’elle a un prix élevé sur le marché et qu’elle constitue une source de nourriture importante et agréable pour de nombreux Haïtiens. Les arachides séchées se trouvent toute l’année dans la plupart des marchés en plein air, et des produits à base d’arachides fabriqués localement, tels que le beurre d’arachide (y compris les formes sucrée, épicée et non aromatisée) sont couramment vendus dans les magasins et les supermarchés.
