Cotton defoliation applications started this past week and will likely continue for the next 4 – 6 weeks.  Given the likelihood of changing environmental conditions over this time period as well as the fickle nature of cotton harvest aids in general, a continually evolving strategy to remove leaves and open bolls will be necessary.  The 2018 Mid-South Cotton Defoliation Guide is designed to assist with this; however, prior knowledge/experience of field conditions and harvest aid performance should be factored into any decision.
