Trying out a unique way to control wireworms in cotton…🤞 BASF AgSolutions US

Surtain Herbicide applied at planting vs No herbicide applied at planting! Palmer amaranth is enjoying the moisture and warmer weather 😡. I’m sure the corn is looking forward to rain and cooler temperatures this week! ⁦BASF AgSolutions US

Excited to see what this year brings! The unexpected results in research is what keeps me coming back year after year…that ‘aha’ moment. ⁦BASF AgSolutions US⁩ ⁦Texas A&M AgriLife Research⁩

Can you say camo!?! Yes, there is a horned lizard in the first photo. Can you find it?

These Palmer amaranth are going beast mode with the rains the South Plains has been receiving! We are about to find out if the tools we may have soon are going to provide a new solution to an ever changing problem. BASF AgSolutions US

Almost 2 months after Surtain Herbicide was applied when this corn was planted…Holding back morningglory and Palmer amaranth like a champ! First half of the video with all the emerged morningglories is another new corn PRE herbicide. ⁦BASF AgSolutions US⁩

Strong residuals pay off!! Weed control starts before the crop emerges…even if you have plant twice! Axant Flex cotton unlocks the ability to utilize another herbicide mode of action in cotton, hopefully available in 2026. (Pending Registration)

Pumpkin patch in the making! Guess what else is making an appearance?? 😥 🤔

Pigweeds, careless weeds, Palmer amaranth…whatever you want to call them…they are plentiful this year!! Everytime it rains, here comes more!

Hoppers are hungry! 😳 Edges of fields are getting stripped down to the stems.

New Mexico pecan orchards are a site to behold!! #eatpecans

Why Hello 👋 there…blooms are here! Cotton crop is progressing nicely and enjoying the sunshine!

Be on the lookout for cotton aphids. Droopy upper leaves and honeydew on lower leaves are signs of aphid feeding. Sefina insecticide is very effective on cotton aphids and is a great option to preserve the beneficial insects 🐞 BASF AgSolutions US

Trying out sunflowers in the garden…some of these are over 10 ft tall! Insects are plentiful this year. I have smashed numerous caterpillars and aphids.

August 8, 2025 plainscotton.org/cn250808/ I strongly encourage EVERYONE in the cotton industry, from inputs dealer to apparel retailer, to read Plains Cotton Growers Inc. “From Ripples to Waves” and then go look in your closet. “It starts with us.” Great article Kara & PCG!

Mega-Pigweeds!! ⁦Megan M. Singletary⁩ Cole Woolard and team were doing most of the work…it’s the behind the scenes work of graduate students that doesn’t get noticed or recognized enough. Thanks for allowing me to join in on the fun today!
