Jay Mahaffey at the Scott Learning Center gives an update on how planting dates for soybeans affect performance. 🌱 📍 Scott Learning Center Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC Jay Mahaffey #Grow23 #OneMoreBushel

A significant hail event happened last night in the Delta. We have simulated this a couple of times - will be giving that work a refresh this year. Maybe this data can help with the situation this year. #grow23 #OneMoreBushel@ideasgotogrow@Bugman70 DEKALB Asgrow Seed Bayer Traits & Systems

Impromptu study in the field today with the local agronomist. Secondary ear formation this year and folks are asking. In past work, they show and then get “reabsorbed” by the plant. Few developed at pops below 16k/ac. Check it out this summer! Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC DEKALB Asgrow Seed

Refuge corn doing it’s job of generating susceptible ear worms. Infested nearly 100%. This is a cautionary tale for cotton and soybeans in about 3 weeks at the latitude of Scott, MS. KEEP SCOUTING!!! DEKALB Asgrow Seed Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC Jay Mahaffey

In a very special #ThrowbackThursday, Jay Mahaffey at Scott Learning Center tells you about the vintage varieties of #Deltapine growing in “Antique Alley.” Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC Jay Mahaffey #StrongCotton

Finishing touches on a few plots at the Learning Center today. This one is a supplemental mid season N application in cotton. Suggested by growers. 50 units in the form of Ammonium Sulfate. Come see us when you can. DELTAPINE Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC DKASDP Delta South Bayer MidSouth Tech Dev & Agronomy

Jay Mahaffey has important insights on #Deltapine #ThryvOn #StrongCotton and its efficacy against pests at both nymphal and adult stages. 💪 📍 Scott Learning Center Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC Jay Mahaffey Bayer Traits & Systems

Just a friendly reminder to be safe during harvest season. Come see at the Learning Center. We just started harvesting a big crop. Results coming soon.

The ThryvOn Difference. An example of the damage, maturity delay and potential yield penalty that thrips can inflict. DP 2131 B3TXF on the left; and untreated, non ThryvOn competitor on the right. Both totally untreated for thrips other than insecticidal seed treatments.

This plant needs a name - or maybe at least a nickname. It’s a DP 2127 B3XF plant that has become the unofficial LC mascot. We plan to keep it growing around the office for a while. Any suggestions??

New at the Scott Learning Center: a museum that gives you a glimpse into yesteryear. Here’s a preview. #ThrowbackThursday 📍 Scott Learning Center, Mississippi Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC Jay Mahaffey #StrongCotton #Deltapine

Got to love picking time. Especially in this.

Just wrapped up cotton harvest. Exciting results coming soon!!

Cotton box mapping is over. It is the most we have ever done at learning center. The pile of plants over 8ft tall. Great data to follow !! Harrison Burford Jay Mahaffey Bayer Crop Science, Scott LC

First trial of the year planted. 4 hybrids planted 1.25” and 2.5” deep. Less than 24 hours ahead of cool rain. Not how I would do it commercially - we are doing science at the SLC. Our data long term says there is a time to not plant corn but not a time to plant corn shallow.

Attached is a link to a research report from work done at the Scott Learning Center during 2023. It's quite a story and took a while to get together but here it is in the final form. Thanks for reading and come see us when you can. cropscience.bayer.us/articles/dad/a…
