| | From the Network ... Organics Proceedings Published in Crop Management Journal The proceedings of ‘USDA Organic Farming Systems Research Conference,’ which took place in March 2011 at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., has been launched on PMN. This open-access collection of research, reviews, and perspectives provides a diverse discussion around organic farming systems in the United States. Presentation topics run the gamut of dimensions, from the agronomic and economic to the ecological and social. View proceedings.

Resource Spotlight: Forage and Grazinglands Forage and Grazinglands is a peer-reviewed, applied journal covering the many aspects of rangeland management. This resource provides research, reviews, guides, briefs, and news to help users better manage their rangelands and their stock for meat and dairy production. Individuals can access Forage and Grazinglands and all other Plant Management Network resources for just $38-$45 yearly. Subscribe Today! Increase Double-Cropped Soybean Yield Through Latest ‘Focus on Soybean’ Webcast This presentation by Dr. David Holshouser, Associate Professor and Extension Agronomist at Virginia Tech, helps consultants, growers, and other practitioners in the Mid-Atlantic region implement practices to increase yields of soybean planted after small grain harvest. Specifically, the presentation discusses the main differences between full-season and double-cropped soybean and makes recommendations to enhance double-cropping advantages and minimize disadvantages. By the end of this presentation, viewers will better understand practices and techniques that will allow them or their clients to improve double-cropped soybean production.

The presentation provides a short background on glyphosate, describes injury symptoms of glyphosate in potatoes, and details symptoms of glyphosate residues that remain in seed through storage and are planted the following year. Strategies to manage glyphosate in potato are also discussed.

In Part I of the presentation, Dr. Kranz discusses procedures for preparing soil water sensors and how to install them in the field. In Part II, Kranz teaches viewers how to use a modified atmometer to verify that soil water sensors are responding correctly. Several water conservation practices are also discussed in this talk, including crop residue management, planting a shorter season hybrid and reducing the plant population. By the end of the presentation, the viewer will have the necessary information to initiate an irrigation scheduling program and find additional information.

| | Nitrogen Management of Corn Related to Weeds: This learning module by Dr. Laura Lindsey, Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University, addresses three specific questions: “How does nitrogen application rate and critical time of weed removal influence corn grain yield?” “How much nitrogen do weeds remove?” and lastly, “What happens to nitrogen in weeds?” By the end of this presentation, the user should know more about nitrogen uptake of weeds in a corn grain production system and how that nitrogen is eventually released back to the soil after weeds are controlled.

The rapid adoption of round modules has caused some problems and concerns in the handling and processing round cotton modules. When round modules are handled improperly, the potential for plastic contamination in the cotton bale is increased. This presentation will review the proper methods of handling round modules in the field and the gin.
