Monday, August 7th - Cotton Defoliation Field Day
By Corrie Bowen
County Extension Agent – Wharton County
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in Wharton Counties will be hosting a cotton defoliation in Wharton on Monday, August 7, 2017 at 1:00 p.m.. A replicated research plot was sprayed on July 28th in Wharton that has both one-shot and follow-up treatments to compare to commonly used combinations. Viewing and evaluating this plot will give producers an idea of what to expect regarding leaf drop and opening of bolls this year. Dr. Gaylon Morgan, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension State Cotton Specialist, will be available to discuss the performance of the thirteen defoliation treatments being evaluated. There is no charge to attend the field day. One (1) General CEU will be offered for Texas Department of Agriculture Pesticide License Holders. The Wharton County cotton defoliation turn row meeting will be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m on CR 428 in Wharton. From the Colorado River on Business 59 in Wharton, travel south west on Business 59 for 1.3 Miles. Turn left onto CR 448, and immediately cross the railroad tracks. After the railroad tracks, turn right. Follow CR 448 for 1 mile. Turn left on CR 428. Go 8/10 of a mile and the defoliation plot will be on your left.
