Cotton progress in Terry County faces delays from cool wet spell
Extension Agent Kerry Siders reports Terry County cotton showing a good stand after recent planting but warns that cool wet conditions threaten seedling disease. Weevils are active but sparse, with squares arriving in about two weeks. About 75 percent of irrigated cotton is planted, dryland acres await rain, and soil temps hovering around mid 60s to low 70s risk slipping. fungicide protection may wane after two weeks. Some hail damaged early May plantings, but overall crop remains on track pending warmth and rainfall.
