It's All About Options When Choosing Varieties
Tommy Horton
Additional Pressure
Are there other challenges in picking a seed variety on the High Plains? Yes, according to veteran Texas Extension cotton specialist Randy Boman who has observed Evans' acreage for many years.
In addition to picking the variety that will suit a farmer's specific field conditions, other problems are now prevalent, according to Boman.
Disease pressure is now becoming more widespread in this region as compared to previous years.
For example, verticillium wilt and nematode outbreaks have become serious. Boman says producers should look for "hot spots" in their fields and be able to identify those problem areas and work with Extension officials.
