Consultants' Conference Returns
To BWCC
Carroll Smith
Senior
For the third year in a row, the National Cotton Council (NCC) will host the Cotton Consultants' Conference on Jan. 4, the first day of the 2010 Beltwide Cotton Conferences, in New Orleans, La. The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. and wrap up at 5:00.
The first topic on the agenda will address the impact, including benefits and challenges, of spring burndown herbicide programs on insects, weeds and diseases. Dr. Gus Lorenz, University of Arkansas Extension entomologist, will discuss insects; Dr. Larry Steckel, University of Tennessee Extension weed specialist, will comment on weed pests; and LSU AgCenter plant pathologist Boyd Padgett's remarks will relate to diseases.
Dr. Bob Kemerait, University of Georgia Extension plant pathologist, also will discuss cotton diseases – seedling and foliar – and new products that are available to combat them. Of particular interest is cercospora leaf spot, a new cotton disease that is challenging producers in Georgia.
