A technique was evaluated to assess dicamba herbicide damage to cotton using normalized difference vegetation index on plots treated with a continuously diluting logrithmic sprayer application of dicamba. Five applications were made from early squaring to late bloom, and geo-referenced NDVI readings were taken. Plots were harvested with a commercial picker equipped with a yield monitor.
