Cotton Forecast Boosted by Weather But Sep Oct Dry Spell Urgency
Dr L T L Ray of the South Plains Center says a rare late August weather spell cannot salvage the season, but hot dry September and October frost timing will largely determine cotton maturity and quality. He notes 90 percent of bolls are at risk during peak fiber development if temperatures dip below 60 degrees, potentially slowing growth after 60 to 70 degrees and affecting long term fiber maturation. Shelby Newman reports soil moisture deepening to four to six feet, with stored runoff water aiding next year’s crop if fall and winter precipitation replenish subsoil reserves.
