Cotton pests ramped up on a wider basis over the last week. Bollworms and plant bugs are the main players, but stink bugs are easing into the picture, too. Pressure from spider mites varies. Aphids are pretty much in the rearview mirror now, thanks to the fungus.
More of the early-planted cotton is hitting cutout.
Rains continue to stall applications and/or raise fears of washoff.
