Bolls are opening up in Fresno County. The photo
of the open boll was taken on Sunday Aug. 18 near the town of San Joaquin. This
field was flowering toward the top of the plant with the lower first position
bolls open.
Pest Control Advisors say whiteflies and aphids
could cause sticky cotton, which can decrease quality. Regular field scouting and
timely sprays are recommended.
