Last week of June.
7-1-2026
Someone told me this week their cotton has gone wild since it rained. Varieties that grow well have shown signs of growing 1-2 inches per day. And normal cotton easily grows 1 inch per day with only average soil moisture for a week or two before bloom date. The good news is that insects are low so far, but don’t let that stop you from getting some boron and pix on fields prior to bloom if they are passing through the 20 inch size. Go to my ON-Line Newsletter available here to look at the projected blooming schedule based on planting date or whenever rain got the stand going back in May. We are still in the prebloom stage, and particularly for the aggressive growing varieties, this early application prior to bloom is extremely important.
Next week we will discuss the Pix/Insect Spray schedule and material selection based on Week of Bloom.
