Field experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 in west Tennessee to determine if Canopeo, an image analysis tool available as a smartphone app, could be used to supplement current methods to estimate cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., seedling health in small-plot research tests. A total of six tests, providing a range of cotton seedling health, were used in this analysis. Cotton seedlings in replicated small-plot tests were visually rated for vigor and thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) injury. A photograph of the center two rows of each plot was taken and analyzed to determine green canopy cover using Canopeo. Additionally, above ground biomass samples were collected in three of the tests. Strong correlations were observed between green canopy cover and biomass, green canopy cover and vigor, and thrips injury ratings and biomass. These data suggest that green canopy cover assessment using Canopeo is a useful and non-destructive way to objectively assess treatment effects on plant health in small-plot cotton research trials.

The recent labeling of a new fungicide and rumors of non-fungicidal ‘plant health’ benefits achieved through early-season foliar applications of certain fungicides have led to inquiries concerning the practice. The objective of this research was to determine the impact of an early-season fungicide application on early-season growth or end-of-season lint yields, turnout, and/or fiber quality when disease symptoms are not present. During the 2014-2016 growing seasons, a total of ten trials were established in Alexandria, LA; Starkville, MS; Fort Cobb, OK; Jackson, TN; and Snook, TX. Fungicide treatments included an untreated control, a foliar application of 0.11 kg ai ha-1 zoxystrobin, and a foliar application of 0.07 kg ai ha-1 fluxapyroxad + 0.15 kg ai ha-1 pyraclostrobin. All treatments targeted the two through four true leaf growth stage. A significant interaction between fungicide treatment and site-year was observed from node counts collected at 14 and 28 DAA. Site-year analysis indicated a significant reduction in node counts observed with the azoxystrobin treatment in one site-year in the 14 DAA data and one site-year in the 28 DAA data. Fungicide treatment did not impact plant height or vigor ratings collected at 14 or 28 DAA, chlorophyll meter readings, lint yield, turnout, or fiber quality parameters in any site-year. Failure of fungicide treatments to positively impact in-season growth measurements, yield, and yield parameters suggests the evaluated fungicides should not be applied early-season for the purpose of improving ‘plant health’ and should instead be reserved to target above-threshold levels of disease incidence/severity.

The 70th anniversary of the Cotton Improvement Conference (CIC) was celebrated at the 2018 annual meeting. The CIC was organized in 1948 at a meeting held in conjunction with the Southern Agricultural Workers in New Orleans, LA. The structure of the CIC was informal with the purpose of allowing state, federal, and other cotton workers to report on research, exchange ideas and facilitate research program planning. The first meeting was held in Baton Rouge, LA in 1949. Few records remain of the early years of the conference even though mimeograph proceedings were produced. In 1956, the CIC joined the Beltwide Cotton Production Conference and has continued to meet annually with this group. In 1956, the Beltwide Conferences consisted of the Cotton Disease Council, founded in 1936, Cotton Defoliation – Physiology, established in 1942, Cotton Insect Control (1947), and CIC. Through the years members of the CIC have played key roles in the Joint Cotton Breeding Policy Committee, National Cotton Variety Test Program, and the Cotton Winter Nursery. The reporting of research, exchanging of ideas, and cooperation among public and private cotton workers has persisted throughout the 70 years of the CIC and these activities have benefitted the cotton industry. The Cotton Genetics Research Award was established in 1961 by the commercial cotton breeders to recognize scientific achievement in basic research in cotton genetics, cytogenetics and breeding.

A comprehensive gin maintenance program is critical to optimizing the efficiency of a ginning system and affects labor, energy, and maintenance costs; safety, downtime, daily throughput, fiber properties, and customer satisfaction. A comprehensive gin maintenance program includes a sound maintenance philosophy, downtime and repair documentation and guidelines, a dormant season repair program, ginning season preventive maintenance, and a ginning season repair program. Implementing a comprehensive gin maintenance program in dormant and ginning seasons will minimize the frequency and length of downtime. This will maximize throughput, reducing energy and labor costs per bale, benefitting both the gin’s customers and its owners. Example downtime, inspection, repair and preventive maintenance reports are provided.

There are mutant alleles in the genus Gossypium that increase its tolerance to insect pests. Among the traits that are effective against different insects, high glanding and nectariless increase cotton tolerance to lepidopteran insects, whereas frego bract suppresses the oviposition of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman. The objectives of this research were to transfer the high-glanding trait to frego-bract and nectariless plants. The genotypes used belonged to G. hirsutum: Guazuncho 3 INTA nectariless ne, SP 26 high glanding HG, and SP 47304 frego bract BF. Crosses between SP 26 HG/Guazuncho 3 INTA ne and SP 26 HG/SP 47304 BF and the F2 and F3 generations were obtained. For the combination of high glanding with frego bract, the frequency of individuals with both features varied from 6.4% in the F2 generations to 24.6% in the F3. For the other combination, high glanding with nectariless, the frequency of recombination was of 7.3% in the F2 and 11.8% in the F3. High glanding, nectariless, and frego bract are independently inherited traits in G. hirsutum. Therefore, it is possible to combine the high-glanding trait with frego bracts or nectariless in the same line.

Cotton gins use air to move seed cotton, lint, cottonseed, and trash through conveying pipes. In gins, pneumatic conveying systems are the principal means of moving material from one processing stage to another throughout the entire ginning plant. Further, material drying or moisture restoration can be accomplished by heating or humidifying the conveying air. Pneumatic systems are a critical and fundamental component of cotton ginning. Cotton gins use large quantities of air for pneumatic conveying. It is common for a gin to use 4,248 m3 (150,000 ft3) or more of air per minute in its various material conveying systems. Because the density of dry standard air is approximately 1.2 kg/m3 (0.075 lb/ft3), a typical gin using 4,248 m3/min (150,000 ft3/min) of air moves 305,860 kg (675,000 lb) of air per hour. This mass of air per hour is approximately 1.5 times the total mass of material handled per hour. Typically, more than 60 to 65% of the total electrical power consumed by a cotton gin is attributed to moving material pneumatically. Properly taking air measurements, determining air flow requirements, sizing conveying pipes, sizing fans to generate required air flow rates, and accounting for specific machinery air requirements are essential to maximizing machine utilization, minimizing energy costs, and decreasing system downtime. This update of the Cotton Ginners Handbook provides current technical information on cotton gin pneumatic systems. It draws heavily on previous versions of the Cotton Ginners Handbook (Stedronsky 1964; McCaskill et al., 1977; Baker et al., 1994) and the knowledge and experience of current and past instructors of the Air Systems classes from the National Cotton Ginners’ Association Gin Schools.
轧棉机利用空气将棉籽、棉绒、棉籽和垃圾通过输送管道输送。在轧机中，气力输送系统是将物料从一个加工阶段移动到另一个加工阶段的主要手段，贯穿整个轧机工厂。此外，可以通过加热或加湿输送空气来完成物料干燥或水分恢复。气动系统是轧棉的关键和基本组成部分。轧棉机使用大量的空气进行气力输送。在各种物料输送系统中，每分钟使用4,248立方米(150,000立方英尺)或更多的空气是很常见的。由于干燥标准空气的密度约为1.2 kg/m3 (0.075 lb/ft3)，因此典型的轧锭机使用4,248 m3/min (150,000 ft3/min)的空气每小时移动305,860 kg (675,000 lb)的空气。每小时的空气质量大约是每小时处理的物料总质量的1.5倍。通常，轧棉机消耗的总电力的60%到65%以上是由于气动移动材料。适当地进行空气测量，确定空气流量要求，确定输送管道的尺寸，确定风扇的尺寸以产生所需的空气流量，并考虑特定的机械空气要求，对于最大限度地提高机器利用率，最大限度地降低能源成本和减少系统停机时间至关重要。轧棉机手册的更新提供了轧棉机气动系统的最新技术信息。它大量借鉴了以前版本的《轧棉工人手册》(Stedronsky 1964;McCaskill et al.， 1977;Baker等人，1994年)，以及来自全国轧棉机协会轧棉机学校的现任和过去的空气系统课程讲师的知识和经验。

The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is the most significant insect pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum (L.), in the mid-southern United States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee). Past research has shown the impact that planting date, nitrogen rate, and variety selection has on tarnished plant bug populations, but a paucity of data exists on the effect irrigation timing has on tarnished plant bug. Experiments were conducted at the Mississippi State University Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS to determine if insecticide applications targeting the tarnished plant bug could be reduced in response to irrigation timings. Treatments were in a strip-block arrangement, with the main plot factor being irrigations initiated at squaring, first flower, peak flower, and a non-irrigated control. The sub-plot factor was tarnished plant bug management that consisted of insecticide applications made weekly, at threshold, and a non-treated control. Overall, insecticide applications for tarnished plant bug increase yield. Irrigation initiated at squaring resulted in tarnished plant bugs exceeding the recommended treatment threshold significantly more than when irrigations were initiated later in the growing season. Also, when irrigation was postponed until peak flower, no yield loss or delay in maturity was observed. These results indicate that irrigation timing could be a potential cultural control practice that reduces the number of insecticide applications targeting tarnished plant bug populations in Mid-South cotton.
在美国中南部(阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、密苏里州和田纳西州)，变色的植物臭虫Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois)是棉花最重要的害虫。过去的研究表明，种植日期、施氮量和品种选择对褐虫种群有影响，但灌溉时间对褐虫种群的影响缺乏数据。实验是在密西西比州斯通维尔的密西西比州立大学三角洲研究和推广中心进行的，目的是确定是否可以根据灌溉时间减少针对这种变色植物虫的杀虫剂使用量。处理呈条块状排列，主要地块因子为方形、首花、峰花和非灌溉对照。子样地因子是由每周在阈值处施用杀虫剂和未处理对照组成的褪色植物虫管理。总的来说，杀虫剂的使用可以提高作物产量。在播种时开始灌溉导致的植物变色虫超过推荐的处理阈值显著高于在生长季节晚些时候开始灌溉。此外，当灌溉推迟到花峰时，没有观察到产量损失或成熟延迟。这些结果表明，灌溉时间可能是一种潜在的文化控制措施，可以减少针对中南部棉花褐虫种群的杀虫剂施用次数。

Significant genotype (G) × environment (E) effects for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seed quality traits have been identified in previous studies. Significant G × E interactions necessitate multiple-location tests to evaluate seed quality traits, which add cost to the tests. Reduction of testing locations could trim costs if the analysis of G × E interactions and the efficiency in breeding are not dramatically affected. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine an appropriate reduction of testing locations without significant loss in power for detecting G × E effects; 2) to determine an appropriate reduction of testing locations without significant loss in accuracy for estimating strain means; and 3) to identify a possible mega-environment for evaluation of seed traits using GGE biplot. Historical data of Regional High Quality (RHQ) tests from 2005 through 2013 were used to address the objectives for three seed quality traits including oil content, N content, and free-gossypol. Significant G × location (L) interactions were detected in most cases. However, with averages of the three traits, less G × L interactions were detected with 7.3% and 9.1% non-significance, when two and three locations were omitted, respectively. Reduction of locations up to three, increased standard error to 25% of those with zero locations omitted. There was no clear mega-environment identified for seed traits. However, the locations of Lubbock, TX, Stoneville, MS, Florence, SC, and Portageville, MO were identified as being more representative than others for evaluation of the N content.

Tillage practices, cover crops, and planting dates can influence soil moisture and temperature conditions at planting and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) stand establishment and yield. A study was conducted in North Carolina at two locations from 2014 through 2016. Treatments included six tillage systems of fall and spring conventional raised beds and flat strip tillage planted in early and late May, with and without a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cover crop. Tillage treatments include conventional spring raised beds, fall strip till, stale seedbed, at-plant strip till, pre-plant strip till, and stale seedbed with at-plant strip till. Except for fall strip tillage, no tillage systems reduced plant populations compared to conventionally tilled cotton in any environment. Crop growth rates were similar in conventional and spring strip-till systems and were lower in four planting date environments with stale seedbeds. In 2016, in-row soil resistance was measured from 0- to 30-cm depth using a conical penetrometer both at planting and post-harvest. Plots without any spring tillage had the greatest soil resistance for all measurements and depths. All plots with spring tillage had similar soil resistance to at least the 15-cm depth from which point the conventional spring beds had the least soil resistance through the 30-cm profile. Late planted cotton in 2014 showed inconsistent yield differences among tillage systems between locations. When pooled over location and year for 2015 and 2016, however, tillage system did not influence cotton yield. These data indicate that cotton yields in reduced-till systems are comparable to cotton grown in conventional systems in North Carolina soils.

The effects of postemergence (POST) herbicides off-target movement on cotton has been evaluated, but no data is available evaluating simulated off-target movement of residual herbicides. Therefore, low-dose POST applications of flumioxazin were evaluated in cotton at the cotyledon, two- and four-leaf growth stages. Rates evaluated were 12.5, 25, and 50% of the labeled use rate of 72 g ai ha-1. Necrosis, cotton height and width reduction was observed. Cotyledon cotton was injured 69 to 86%, 80 to 91%, and 84 to 97% following the 12.5, 25, and 50% flumioxazin rates, respectively, 3 through 42 DAT. Injury of two-leaf cotton increased from 3 to 14 DAT for all flumioxazin rates with maximum injury of 40, 47, and 58% following the 12.5, 25, and 50% rates, respectively, 14 DAT, but injury decreased following the 14 DAT evaluation. Injury of four-leaf cotton was 46 to 58% 3 DAT and decreased over time regardless of rate. At 42 DAT, two- and four-leaf cotton was injured 14 to 33% and increased with flumioxazin rate. Cotton height and width averaged 40, 80, 86% of the nontreated following the cotyledon, two-, and four-leaf application timings, respectively, 42 DAT. In addition, height was more influenced by flumioxazin rate than cotton width. Yields were 24, 52, and 62% of the nontreated following the cotyledon, two-, and four-leaf applications timings, respectively. In addition, yields following the 12.5, 25, and 50% rates were 53, 45, and 40% of the nontreated. Low-doses of flumioxazin reduced revenue $1,172 to $2,344 ha-1 for lint and $212 to 423 ha-1 for cotton seed. Low-doses of flumioxazin POST can have negative effects on cotton growth and yield and could cause severe economic loss for a cotton producer.
