Cotton diseases
Diseases, including nematodes, reduced cotton production in Missouri an estimated 8.7 million pounds in 2001, 19.6 million pounds in 2002, and 39.7 million pounds in 2003. The value of the loss in 2003 was $17.1 million. Clearly cotton diseases are a serious detriment to the cotton farmer's income and the economy of Missouri.

Occasional Biting Pests

There are several species of insects and mites that bite human occasionally. Some are encountered indoors while others are found outdoors. Some are specific pests of humans, with no other hosts, while others attack humans incidentally. These insects and mites vary in their biology, behavior and methods of control.

Splints in Horses

Economic Considerations for Beef Manure Management Systems
New
Manure can be a valuable resource in a crop production system. Most of the beef manure produced in Missouri is dropped on pastures. The purpose of this guide is to compare the economics of three systems for collecting, storing, and transporting beef manure from confined feeding operations and applying it to the land. The three systems are solid manure systems, slurry systems (with injection into the soil) and lagoon systems in which the effluent is applied using a traveling gun (and not incorporated).
