A strong crop and a tighter runway. We kick off with a clear snapshot of Georgia cotton quality and why harvest has suddenly accelerated, then dive into the decisions that will define the finish: defoliation timing ahead of a hard freeze, reading yield data for profit, and recognizing when insects actually move the needle. You’ll hear what surprised us this season—big yield gains from thrips control on slow-starting April cotton—and why jassid responses hinged on timing relative to plant decl...

Cotton is progressing on schedule with 79% squaring and 32% setting bolls, and the UGA team sees strong potential for the 2025 crop despite some management challenges. • Stink bug management critical now as cotton sets bolls, with scouts checking for internal damage • While checking for stink bugs, scout for plant bugs using a drop cloth to ensure they are controlled if necessary • Spider mites appearing in some fields with abamectin still effective, though severe cases may need multiple tre...
