W221-Mid-South Multi-State Evaluation Of Treatment Thresholds For Tarnished Plant Bug In Pre-Flowering Cotton, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Prior to bloom, the primary hemipteran pest of cotton in the Mid-South is the tarnished plant bug (TPB). Cotton fleahopper and clouded plant bug are other hemipteran pests that are occasionally observed. These pests reduce yields by feeding on squares (flower buds), which often shed. Mid-sized or larger squares may not shed, but feeding injury is generally evident in the form of yellow staining on the surface of the square and damaged anthers in flowers (i.e., dirty blooms). Square loss can delay maturity and sometimes reduce yield. Delays in crop maturity, even when not causing yield loss, can increase mid-and …

W075-Cotton Defoliation Timing, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Defoliation is an often-overlooked process that, if done properly, can pay large dividends. Defoliation is relatively easy in some situations and extremely difficult in others. Defoliation is the application of chemicals to encourage or force cotton leaves to drop from the plant, allowing harvest of the crop in a timely manner. Proper defoliation requires a balancing act between killing the leaves too quickly or not affecting the leaf at all. Successful defoliation requires that the leaf must stay alive long enough to begin the formation of an abscission zone, resulting in leaf drop. Killing the leaf too rapidly results in …

W074-Managing Late-Planted Cotton, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Traditionally, cotton planting in Tennessee starts near the end of April and continues until mid-May, with the bulk of the cotton planted during the first and second weeks of May. Oftentimes, producers are forced to plant outside of these recognized windows. Although Tennessee has recently experienced longer than normal growing seasons and higher than average DD-60 accumulation, long-term historical data shows that in 50 percent of the last 30 years, a killing freeze could occur during the second and third weeks of October (Table 1). Fortunately, early-maturing varieties, Bt cotton for worm control and boll weevil eradication allow for a …
