2016 Terry County Cotton Defoliation Trial

The 2016 Terry County Cotton Defoliation Trial was sprayed on Monday October 17th starting around 2:30 in the afternoon. A list of treatments in the trial can be seen in the table at the end of this post. The trial is located on 385 (Levelland Hwy.) about 0.5 miles north of the FM 2196 intersection, on the East side of the highway. There is a yellow board that has a plot plan and the first rep has treatment signs. Feel free to stop by and look at the trial. We cannot think Walter King enough for allowing us to use part of his field for this trial. More information on the trial can also be found on the IPM Program's Facebook page "Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service -South-West Plains IPM". I will collect data at 7 day intervals, and the results will be posted on here, in my newsletter, and on the South-West Plain IPM Facebook page.
