Bottom defoliation of cotton is
a refinement of earlier total de
foliation.
More recently, farmer? have at
tempted to save the lace-forming
bolls at the top of the s^alk. That
way farmers make larger yields.
But once a grower defoliates cot
ton, boll growth stops and the top
crop is lost.
Now, farmers defoliate the bot
tom portion of the stalk first. Near
the bottom, the bolls are mature.
Early defoliation aids disease
