Harvest-Aid Cotton Grading Boosts Quality and Price
Cotton grades hinge on color trash and preparation. Harvest-aid compounds help raise grades and cut ginning costs. Apply desiccant on 75 to 80 percent open bolls, use defoliant at 65 percent, avoid early treatment, and consider ethrel PREP for 50 to 60 percent open bolls. Combine DROPP with methyl parathion if regrowth or late boll weevils appear. Weather and crop condition crucial for results.
