Defoliation

Open Cotton
Kate Crumley

Howdy,

Our season is rapidly wrapping up, most of the grain is out of the field, and I've seen some soybeans harvested. We've started defoliating and picking cotton as well.

Defoliation is usually recommended at over 60% open bolls, or 4 nodes above cracked boll. We have a defoliation trial set up this year, I will add the results for that test next week.
