As Hurricane Hanna made landfall July 25, it destroyed the majority of harvest-ready cotton in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley. Early estimates show direct losses of cotton lint at $76 million and $14.2 million in cottonseed.
All that remains are cotton stalks and a quickly approaching September 1 deadline to destroy or make stalks not hostable for the boll weevil.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension IPM Agent Danielle Sekula, Weslaco, and Agronomist Josh McGinty, Corpus Christi, discuss destruction methods and effective herbicide treatments in this video.
