The Texas AgriLife Extension Service recently updated a DVD aimed at providing resources to Texas cotton farmers and consultants.
“This is an educational delivery tool developed for producers, consultants, ginners and the cotton industry as a ‘one-stop shop’ for all information related to cotton,” said Dr. Gaylon Morgan, Texas AgriLife Extension Service state cotton agronomist.
The general topics address production, seed and feed, decision-aids, irrigation, fertility, insects, weeds, disease and nematodes, harvest, fiber quality and ginning and economics. The DVD also includes web resources and a photo gallery.
“This time, we’ve added videos on scouting cotton for insect pests, and we added some decision-aide tools for pests,” Morgan said. “Also, we talk about use of cottonseed as a feed product.”
Copies of the DVD are available by contacting Morgan at (979) 845-2425 or gmorgan@ag.tamu.edu, or by going online at http://cotton.tamu.edu.
