    Dr. JD Ragland, Randall County Extension Agent, recently sat down with cotton experts Dr. Peter Dotray, Megan Singletary, and Blayne Reed to discuss management and control of weeds in Cotton.

The conversations were outstanding as practical and research discussion created some outstanding information as we get wrap up planting in the Panhandle and South Plains Region of Texas. Discussing the challenges and importance of such things as diversification, drift, water quality, resistance, incorportation, proper coverage, options of products, etc. really gave a complete coverage of the challenges and opportunites to have success with this pest. Thanks to all the speakers and Dr. Ragland for taking the time to share and I hope you enjoy the information.
