Cotton Update - Cotton is not changing quick
7-8
This seems like a bit of a lull to me after missing most of the rain from the tropical storm in our region. Cotton that is blooming at the 22 to 26 inch stage is acting like it has already been pixed. I would treat it like it was pixed and delay further action until we get rain or it passes 30 inches. About half of our varieties are easier to manage growth with and respond well to growth regulator and about half are more growthy.
Other areas have recieved more rainfall and cotton is growing better in these areas. Overall, this crop is about like we want it and if it gets big, it will take a lot of rainfall in the next few weeks. The current forecast seems like a lot of days with some chances. We will see.
Insects are also typical and we generally have high square retention. Scouting reports are finding some fields at threshold.
