We trace how the cotton jassid moved from scattered detections to a widespread, fast-moving threat and share what actually stopped yield losses. We explain scouting on the top leaves, the new one-per-leaf threshold, and why missing the first spray costs you the season. • biology, hosts and how hopperburn looks • rapid spread patterns and storm-assisted movement • where to scout on the plant and why leaf four matters • thresholds shifting from five to one per leaf • yield loss data across pla...

Making the case for increasing cotton demand: Polyester's contribution to microplastic contamination in the environment and our bodies
Drs. Jesse Daystar (Chief Sustainability Officer, Cotton Inc.) and Richard Venditti (Professor, Dept. of Forest Biomaterials at NC State) join host Camp Hand (University of Georgia) to discuss plastic leakage, particularly as it pertains to microplastic contamination in the environment and our bodies. Conversations revolve around the sustainability of cotton and how polyester is the main source of microplastic contamination around the world. For those wanting additional resources, those can b...
