SPAR has a set of ten outdoor naturally-lit chambers, with computer control of the environmental factors. This facility was established in 1977 and has since been used for determining plant responses to a variety of environmental factors, including future climatic conditions.

PREFACE This special issue of the Journal of Mississippi Academy Sciences (JMAS) focusing on Agriculture and Plant Sciences is the first attempt in 84 years of continuous publication of JMAS. All the papers in this special issue have been peer-reviewed to the standard of the journal. We express our deep and sincere gratitude to all the authors for their timely response and careful revisions. They have made tremendous contributions and offered generous support to this issue. The topics cover various aspects of agriculture covering soils to crops fundamental and production and applied problems in the Magnolia State. We also thank several reviewers for their voluntary work and expert reviews. It is hoped that this JMA Special Issue on Agriculture will make a good source of scientific material, but also an inspiration for other divisions of the Mississippi Academy Sciences to initiate such special issues in the coming years. We thank all the sponsors both in and outside the state for their generous support. We express special appreciation to Drs. Saha, Benghuzzi, and the MAS Board and Council Members for their support during the special issue initiation and further development. K. Raja Reddy Michelle A.

Nandula, E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since the mid-twentieth century, herbicides rapidly replaced all other means of weed management. Overreliance on ‘herbicide-only’ weed control strategies hastened the evolution of herbicide-resistant (HR) weed species. Glyphosate-resistant (GR) crop technology revolutionized weed management in agronomic crops. Still, GR weeds, led by Palmer amaranth, severely reduced returns from various cropping systems
