I will be conducting three Cotton Field Scouting Clinics next week to help cotton growers, consultants and industry reps learn more about scouting fields for insect pests. Dr. Jack Bachelor from NC State will be with us at the Southampton Clinic. The primary focus will be on stink bugs and determining spray thresholds. Interested parties will meet at one of the locations listed below and then drive to selected nearby fields that have been identified for the clinic. Please meet promptly at the times indicated. The clinics should last one hour. Water, soft drinks and light snacks will be provided for attendees.
