Nitrogen Requirements of Contemporary Cotton Cultivars
While a standard nitrogen recommendation for cotton has been 50-55 lbs. N/480 lb. bale, small-seeded, modern cotton cultivars might require less N than did those previously grown. A common experiment was conducted in ten states for two years.
Delta Agricultural Weather Center
The Center currently has 19 fixed weather stations and 20 seasonal stations. The Center provides historical and up-to-date weather data and products to aid farmers in making agricultural decisions.
The Arizona Meteorological Network
This resource for Arizona cotton producers includes links to current and past weather conditions for sites around the state, and crop reports.
