Chilling Injury Risk Assessment.
5-19-2026
Yesterday we started the day looking for thrips and by 11:00 it was appearant that we are going to see some chilling injury this year in our stands. For the first two weeks while cotton is just out of the ground it is more noticeable by digging up the plants (don't pull them up because roots break off) to evaluate root developement. During the first two weeks while the seedling fungicides are still working, the roots tend to stay white even if damaged, but later on, we could see some seedling disease on affected plants. Go to the ON-LINE NEWSLETTER for a full analysis of this condition and the situation. Some acres could need replanting and others are going to be fine. There is a table that targets the high risk planting dates to help you prioritize which fields may need looking at first.
