Effect of cotton population density on lint yield and fiber quality
DAP days after planting PD population density 1 INTRODUCTION Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a woody perennial that has been managed as an annual plant for maximizing lint yield. The perennial nature of cotton makes seasonal management practices complex. Stand establishment is a challenge for producers since stands are often reduced through multiple adverse environmental factors, such as sand blasting, hail events, and soil crusting prior to seedling emergence.

Check For Active Nodulation • By Emi Kimura, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, State Extension Peanut Specialist • Peanut planting in the Southwest was delayed because of above-average rains we received in May. In typical years, we recommended checking the crop for nodulation development on the roots in early- to mid-June. This year, it is not too late to check for nodulation in July to assess the potential need for midseason nitrogen applications if nodulation is not found in adequate numbers.
Managing Weeds With PP, PPI and Pre Herbicides
• By Emi Kimura, James Grichar, Pete Dotray and Josh McGinty, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension • Best management practices for peanut production include effective season-long weed management. The four weed management principles in peanut production are: 1. Start clean. 2. Use residual herbicides. 3. Be timely with postemergence applications. 4. Know your weeds. Early season weed management is most important and should result in easier weed control later in the season.
Texas Peanuts: Mid- to Late-Season Weed Control Options
Weed pressure seems higher this season due to better than average soil moisture. Herbicides applied preplant and at planting have been effective, but new weed flushes following rainfall or irrigation are likely as soil applied herbicides are dissipating. Herbicides applied at early-postemergence that do not have soil activity are also prone to allow new weed flushes.
