Defoliation
Howdy, Our season is rapidly wrapping up, most of the grain is out of the field, and I’ve seen some soybeans harvested. We’ve started defoliating and picking cotton as well. Defoliation is usually recommended at over 60% open bolls, or 4 nodes above cracked boll. We have a defoliation trial set up this year, I will add the results for that test next week.
Open Cotton and Defoliation Guides
Open Cotton Kate Crumley Howdy, Our grain crops are mostly out of the field. There are spots we’ve been delayed by rain, but for the most part we are wrapping up grain harvest. Sorghum yields have mostly been poor due to sprouting and the wet conditions we had earlier, but our corn yields have mostly been fair to good.
