Thursday, January 5, 2012: 10:30 AM-12:20 PM
Crystal Ballrooms K & L (Orlando World Center Marriott)
Diseases affecting the foliage of the cotton crop have gained significant attention over the past several years. Identification of the specific diseases is frustrating in the field; management can be even more difficult and confusing. This session has been developed to offer a practical understanding to the importance and impact of foliar diseases in the cotton field and to provide the audience on management opportunities for specific diseases.
