Grain sorghum hybrid performance is annually evaluated in official hybrid trials provides unbiased performance data for grain sorghum hybrids.
This research measures the net economic impact to the Louisiana economy from a major switch in acreage from cotton to corn in 2007. (PDF format only)
Contamination of food and feed grains by aflatoxins is a problem throughout the world. Corn produced in the southeastern United States has higher levels of aflatoxin than corn produced in the Corn Belt of the Midwest. (PDF format only)
The development of a high quality, perennial summer forage, with late summer or early fall production, has been a long-standing objective of Louisiana forage researchers. This publication includes information on rhizoma peanut, a legume that has the potential to fill this summer forage deficit and provide producers quality high value hay with little nitrogen input. (PDF format only)
Wheat, a cool-season crop, is often used in double-cropping systems. The objective of this research was to evaluate yield performance and dates of maturity for wheat varieties with a wide range of maturity. (PDF format only)
A unique, naturally occurring variety of Bermudagrass was identified in an Alicia Bermudagrass hay field in Sabine Parish in 1991. This publication includes information on the comparisons of this variety with the three Bermudagrass varieties most widely planted in the area in recent years, conducted in a field plot experiment at the Rosepine Research Station.

Winter vegetation common to northeast Louisiana ranges from easy-to-control weeds, such as annual bluegrass and common chickweed, to difficult-to-control species, such as curly dock and ryegrass. This publication includes information on proper weed identification and herbicide selection, the keys to a successful preplant, burndown weed control program. (PDF format only)
The purpose of this publication is to explain a fertility study that was initiated in the fall of 1996 due to limited information on annual ryegrass responses to either soil-incorporated broiler litter or commercial fertilizers use rates on upland sandy Coastal Plain soils. (PDF format only)
Annual ryegrass, cereal rye, tall fescue and bromegrass are cool-season forage crops. The information presented is a summary of several varietal studies conducted at the Hill Farm Research Station. The overall objective of these studies was to evaluate and identify varieties of these cool-season forage crops that offer highest forage yield potential for cattle producers in north Louisiana.
