Comparison of COTMAN(TM) System With Extension Recommendations in North Carolina

A. M. Stewart, K. L. Edmisten, J. S. Bacheler, D. W. Mott and J. B. Coltrain


 
ABSTRACT

COTMANTM is a relatively new management tool that models crop growth and development. Plant monitoring and weather data input are used to aid a grower or consultant in making decisions regarding early season square loss, mid season irrigation and plant growth regulator applications, late season insecticide termination, and defoliation timing. Experience with COTMANTM in North Carolina and the northern regions of the cotton belt has been limited. An evaluation, therefore, of the COTMANTM system was initiated in North Carolina comparing it to Extension Service recommendations already in place.
