2008 DD60’s and Cotman

Below you will find the DD60’s for 2008 with comparisons to previous years. In this chart, the DD60’s started on May 1. The present recommendation of the Cotman method of terminating insecticide application says the bolls are past injury by boll feeding insects when 350 DD60’s are reached after cutout, 5 nodes above white flower. The 350 DD60’s from cutout can be determined by checking the chart for the DD60’s of the cutout date. Subtract this number from the present number of DD60’s and this will yield the number of DD60’s received since cutout. Weather data can be found on our website at www.aes.missouri.edu/delta
