Alabama Row Crops

Hi friends! We are combining our page with the Alabama Crops Facebook account. Follow along over there as we share all the great things our teams are doing with Alabama Extension.

We will be removing this account in a few months.

Start your morning off with the new episode of the Crops Report Podcast!

In this episode, Josh Lee, Chandler Gruener, and Wendiam Sawadgo discuss the latest USDA crop reports and economic considerations.

The past few weeks have been eventful for cotton in the southeast. Cotton jassid was documented in Tifton, GA (June 10, okra), Tallassee, AL (June 11, cotton) and Quincy, FL (June 12, cotton). These are the first documented cases of cotton jassid in “the real world” in the Cotton Belt since a single jassid was found on a sticky trap in January in Georgia.

Check out this resource for up-to-date tracking across the cotton belt: www.stop2scl.org/cotton/

Be sure to scout early, stay the course with your bug management plans, and reach out to your local Extension agent with any questions.

Tuesday Team Spotlight:
Our team members are working with BH Farms in Monroe County to test XyWay fungicide on corn.🌽 XyWay was soil applied at V4 growth stage with nitrogen application.
Big thanks to BH Farms for putting in the demonstration plots and Chad Abbott with FMC for donating the XyWay. We will be harvesting soon!
