Heat favored to boost Terry County cotton crop yields
Terry County Entomologist Phillip Kidd said hot weather is needed to create heat units to help seedlings recover from disease and insect damage as the area’s cotton progresses. He reported most fields are planted, with 90 to 95 percent complete, and noted forthcoming moisture would aid dry land crops. The piece also covers Texas Senate approval of boll weevil eradication reforms, the law’s control by the Agriculture Commissioner, zone splits in the High Plains, a scheduled August referendum, and potential delays in benefits for the current crop amid pesticide ordering and funding uncertainties. He warned the program’s impact depends on a successful referendum and funding, with regional support varying among zones.
