Sulphur Additions Enhance Cotton Production

Cotton is produced in 17 states that range from the Carolinas to California. It is a primary crop in 6 states with Texas producing more cotton than the next 9 highest production states. Good management is critical to growing cotton profitably. A manager’s ability to recognize, adapt to and minimize yield-limiting factors such as diseases, insects, soil conditions, moisture stress, and soil fertility determines success or unsatisfactory results. Cotton farmers should strive to exclude the possibility of nutrients becoming limited during the flowering and fruiting growth stage as this is when the greatest demand for uptake occurs.
