The last frost we had\u00a0burned most of the leaves\u00a0on the\u00a0cotton still\u00a0left in fields and more cold weather is on the way.\u00a0The damage was much worse\u00a0for the later planted cotton that had quite a few bolls left to\u00a0open. If you cut these\u00a0bolls open and they’re brown, the boll was damaged by the frost and won’t open.<\/p>\n

In some fields the top of the plant was burned and the bottom still green. Some farmers chose to apply a defoliant in this situation.<\/p>\n

At this point for cotton still left in fields, boll development and maturity for 2014 are at an end. Long term weather data and cotton maturation experience based on this data tell us that the risks of leaving cotton in the field beyond this point outweigh the benefits. Fields should be harvested as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Last week, thanks to Lamar Turner,\u00a0I was flying over one of my cotton research plots to take aerial pictures. The below picture is of one of the Telone cotton plots at the Boyette’s\u00a0in Appling county. The arrows are where the Telone was applied. You can easily see the stripes through the field.\u00a0I’ll post the yields when harvested.<\/p>\n
