This is according to John Marshall, extension and development agronomist with Cotton Seed Distributors at Dalby. He says with much of the cotton on the downs at peak flowering, it's a bad time for waterlogging. "When we do get a big rainfall event like this the crop basically goes into a phase where it stops growing, it can't manufacture carbohydrate, it has trouble extracting nutrients from the soil, so it virtually comes to a grinding stop, it goes yellow and then in some scenarios it starts to shed fruit." John Marshall, Cotton Seed Distributors, Dalby

Greg Salmand is senior extenstion officer witht he DPI's cotton program based in Dalby. He says cotton crops are dropping smaller bolls to reduce their heat stress and that could have longer term effects on cotton yield when picking starts mid-April. He also says it could boost the incidence of fusarium wilt in susceptible areas, which too could reduce yield. More damaging to cotton crops however, would be if they were hit with hail over the next week during forecast active thunderstorms. Greg Salmand, Department of Primary Industries, Dalby.

25. AGRONOMIST NOTES ALTERNATIVES FOR FAILED COTTON CROPS June 19, 1997. AGRONOMIST NOTES ALTERNATIVES FOR FAILED cotton crops. Soybeans maybe a good replacement crop for cotton in irrigated areas, the agronomist said. http://agnews.tamu.edu/dailynews/stories/SOIL/Jun1997a.htm

June 19, 1997 AGRONOMIST NOTES ALTERNATIVES FOR FAILED COTTON CROPS Writers: Pam Dillard, (806) 359-5401; email: p-dillard@tamu.edu; Joe Bryant, (806) 746-6101; email: j-bryant1@tamu.edu Contact: Dr. Brent Bean, (806) 359-5401; email: b-bean@tamu.edu Bean said growers might consider one of several crop alternatives following cotton, such as sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, or dry beans. "Producers who are thinking about sorghum may have some difficulty in locating seed due to the unusually short seed supply this year," he said. Hybrid selection for late planted sorghum is an important consideration. "Sorghum planting may range from late April to early July, depending on the maturity class of the hybrid," Bean noted. In general, a medium- to full-season hybrid should not be planted after June 15. The cutoff date for a medium-maturity hybrid would be June 20 through June 30, while short season hybrids could be planted up to July 10, depending upon the hybrid and how far south in the Panhandle or South Plains the field is located. "Before planting any hybrid, be sure to check with the seed company for the recommended planting date for that particular hybrid," Bean advises. He said a list of major sorghum hybrids and their maturity class is available at local county extension offices along with recent variety trial data.

26. Kyle Cruz's Cotton Crop cotton crops are usually picked during the summer months or when thecotton balls are fully opened and have shed most of the leaves. http://www.sanbenito.k12.tx.us/schools/mjms/projects/crops/kylecotton.html

Cotton Kyle Cruz The crop of cotton is a widely spread crop which is grown in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, and other parts of the world. Cotton is just not a simple plant, but a necessity for human life. Cotton is not a new plant to us, it has been around since the early ages of mankind. Today, in a large growing society like ours, we need the produce of cotton for many purposes. Without cotton, we wouldn't have the blankets to give us warmth, and the cloth we need to cover our bodies. Can you just imagine what it would be like without cotton? That is why the price of cotton should be raised a bit. If farmers aren't getting the right amount of money for their crops, why should they invest in planting cotton? The amount generated by this crop depends on how much crop is harvested. Cotton can sell for at a base price of $65.25 a bail, but can rise as high as $65.40. During a difficult year, cotton's prices are between $64.41 a bail and close at $64.60. Since the demand for cotton is so great, up to thousands of acres are devoted to this crop. It is essential for not just one farmer to plant cotton, but many in case one of those farmers has a bad cotton crop. Due to the fact that the population of the earth is growing there is less and less land for planting these valuable cash crops. Planting cotton is just not fun and games, it takes alot of hard work to prepare the land. To prepare the land the farmers have to take it through many stages that involve disking the land runing the clots with a breaking plow,making rows,etc. Cotton is planted in rows, so the machinery can get easy access to the crop. In the old days cotton was picked by hand, but now it is picked with complicated machinery called cotton harvesters. With this new modern technology it makes it alot easier on the farmer. Don't think that this machinery comes free, it costs thousands of dollars for a single piece of machinery. Cotton crops are usually picked during the summer months or when the cotton balls are fully opened and have shed most of the leaves. The major distributors of cotton are the cotton gins who clean it and distribute it to the cloth making factories. Here in the valley, cotton gets picked, compacted into bails, and sent off to clothe making industries such as: Fruit of the Loom.

Think over because finally a PC game is launched to blow your system and your senses out of this world. While the highly anticipated games such as "Doom III" and "Half Life 2" seem to be delayed forever, the men at Crytek and UbiSoft (makers of the "Prince of Persia") has recently released the highlight game of the year, named as "FarCry." FarCry employs a new graphics engine delivering the cinematic like never seen before. The game offers exactly what game enthusiasts have been looking for in an exciting game for a long time. With the introduction of the nVidia 6800 Ultra and ATI X800 Pro, there were really no games to exploit the capabilities the these $500 monsters until now, of course. This game has certainly seem to have set the stage for the age of modern gaming with its adrenaline pumping adventure and superb graphics to please even the odds. A mad scientist-like guy has always been working on a top secret project, in order to make humans into biogenetical freaks, or in other words deadly monsters. Now it's up to you to face the challenge and put an end to this havoc on the harmless and peace loving tropical island.

News: Press Releases Press Release No. 2, 6 February 2003 Genetically modified cotton crops produced greater yields and reduced pesticide use in India Bonn The study, published Friday, Feb. 7, in the journal Science , holds particular promise for small-scale, low income farmers in developing nations, said the researchers. These farmers, especially those in tropical regions, regularly risk large, pest-related crop losses because they cannot afford to use the pesticides available to larger farms. The researchers reported the results of field trials conducted on 157 farms in three major cotton-producing states in India during the seven-month cotton season that began in June 2001. The field trials were initiated by the Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company (Mahyco), which has been studying Bt hybrids in India since 1997. The farm sites contained three adjacent plots that measured 646 square meters each. One plot was planted with cotton bioengineered with a gene from the insecticidal bacterium

spring Better water use in cotton crops Australian cotton growers are set to build on their water saving efforts by managing their irrigation water use better through a new software package called HydroLOGIC. HydroLOGIC, developed by CSIRO Plant Industry as part of the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), helps cotton growers develop irrigation plans for their cotton crops to optimise water use and yield. Irrigation water requirements of a cotton crop depend on irrigation techniques, soil type, crop management, rainfall and evaporation. HydroLOGIC helps growers account for these variables to minimise water consumption yet satisfy their cotton crops’ needs. Cotton growers use HydroLOGIC by entering information throughout the growing season on the existing soil moisture deficit, determined through soil moisture monitoring equipment, fruit numbers and leaf area. The information is then processed by HydroLOGIC together with long term regional climate data to estimate crop yields and indicate optimum times for irrigation. HydroLOGIC also allows growers to investigate the effects of different irrigation timing on yield – to balance yield potential with water availability.

INDIAN PLAN TO DESTROY GM COTTON CROP SEEN FAILING Reuters/ Business Line AHMEDABAD, India, 1 st November 2001 - Officials were cited as saying on Thursday that India's plans to destroy genetically modified cotton are unlikely to succeed because nearly 70 percent of the crop has already entered the market. The stories say that earlier this month, several hundred farmers in the western state of Gujarat were ordered to destroy their genetically modified cotton crops because the government does not allow commercial production of GM crops. The farmers won a reprieve on Wednesday when a federal committee reversed the decision and told state authorities to buy the crop because it did not want to punish them for having unwittingly planted the bacillus thuringiensis cotton, also called BT cotton. P.K. Ghosh, Gujarat's principal secretary of Forests and Environment, was quoted as telling Reuters that, "More than two-third of the BT cotton grown (illegally) in Gujarat has already gone into the market since it is an early maturing variety. There is now little scope for confiscating the cotton sold.." Prashanta Kumar Ghosh, adviser in the federal Department of Biotechnology, was cited as saying it would be possible to recover the seeds and the lint that were still with the farmers but it would be difficult to retrieve the cotton that had entered the market. Authorities now plan to launch an awareness campaign in Gujarat, India's largest cotton growing state, to prevent re-sowing of BT cotton in the 2002/03 season beginning June, officials said.
