1999 Year in Review: The West

Jeffrey C. Silvertooth


 
ABSTRACT

The 1999 cotton season in the far west (California, Arizona, and New Mexico) began with a very cool and wet spring weather pattern that made planting and early crop establishment difficult. This was true to some extent throughout the region with some areas being more severely affected by problems in the spring than others. However, despite all of the difficulties experienced at the beginning of the season, overall the 1999 crop has performed relatively well. Lygus bugs presented the greatest amount of trouble in terms of pest management problems in Arizona. Insect pressures (aphid, silverleaf whitefly, and particularly lygus) were regarded as all being relatively light in California in 1999.
