From the Crop Doctors' Podcast studio in Stoneville, Dalton Whitt and Tanner King, both doctoral students at Mississippi State University, dive deep into their research on two of the Delta's most challenging weeds: Italian ryegrass and Virginia pepperweed. They break down the complexities of herbicide resistance in Italian ryegrass, a winter annual that continues to adapt to control methods. The discussion also turns to the rising problem of Virginia pepperweed, which has become increasingly difficult to control with standard burndown applications.
