Cotton

This cotton program is intended for informational use only. For the best possible results tailored to meet your needs and soil type, check with your AgPro™ representative for specific recommendations.
Pre-plant GOAL REASON
1 qt of AIM per acre.
Apply with pre-plant (yellow) herbicide		 Soil stimulation, air & water management, disease prevention. AIM and RECLAIM open the soil for proper air and water management. This softening allows the product’s enzyme mix to thoroughly stimulate the biological elements breaking down unavailable nutrients to their available form.
RECLAIM on the alkali (sodium) soil adds the benefit of preventing damage. Sodium is reduced, making potash conversion easy and available.
Products unlock the phosphates in spring and potash (potassium) in the fall through microbial stimulation.
Critical to cotton survival is sufficient potassium. Cotton loves potassium, but ingests sodium instead. Sodium erupts the cell wall inviting insect and disease.NOTE: Both products activate and extend the life of herbicides improving their efficiency. Soil test may indicate a higher rate of RECLAIM is necessary in very alkali soil.
*For pH higher than 6.8 and/or high sodium content. Also good for chemically damaged fields.
*Alkali/Sodium Soil
1 qt of RECLAIM per acre.
Apply with pre-plant (yellow) herbicide
Planting GOAL REASON
2 oz RENEW per acre
Apply in row or over top.		 Rapid germination, stimulated root growth, disease prevention. The pre-plant treatment allows the RENEW to penetrate quickly and stimulate the microbial activity around the seed. This microbial activity breaks down the N-P-K into an easily digestible form, greatly increasing root growth.This treatment gives the seedling a quick strong start to withstand and shorten exposure to any adverse environmental conditions.
Pinhead Square GOAL REASON
8 oz COTTON BOLLS foliar applied. Best applied with 1st application of PIX. Direct cotton stimulation to load up squares, flush plant and increase yield potentials. COTTON BOLLS helps keep the cotton shorter and load up heavier.
Early Bloom GOAL REASON
8 oz. COTTON BOLLS per acre foliar applied To stimulate reproduction by increasing reproductive nutrient uptake. Poor nutrient balance at this time causes yield loss. This application is for retaining the bloom set.  (In high sodium soil, at this stage the cotton plant will pull up large doses of sodium instead of potassium which is why RECLAIM is recommended in these areas.)
Peak Bloom GOAL REASON
8 oz. COTTON BOLLS per acre foliar applied Direct cotton stimulation to load up bolls, flush plant and increase nutrient uptake. A fully loaded plant will still shed blooms if enough reproductive elements are not available to make all bolls mature. This application is an additional stress reducer to help retain both early and late blooms.At this time there is still a heavy draw on potassium. If potassium is low it is easily replaced by sodium that can lead to death in cotton in the form of root rot.
Herbicide Spray Program
Apply 16 fl. oz. phLAME per 100 gallon tank mix with contact herbicides.
Fungicide Spray Program
Apply 16 – 32 fl. oz. SS 9 per 100 gallon tank mix with fungicide.
Note about Spraying:
We strongly recommend using an adjuvant with your cotton spray program. AgPro™ specialty surfactants (SS 9, SPREADER STICKER, phLAME) have proven cost effective with spray applications of chemicals (fungicides, herbicides, pesticides) to allow lowest label rates with better results. The synergy can add potency and extend the chemical life and have allowed some growers to experiment and get exceptional results with well under label rates.Please ask your AgPro™ representative for the appropriate product for your needs and grower’s experiences in your area.
What Growers Say

“I was using PGR IV and found that AgPro™ RENEW did the same thing for half the price. RECLAIM really suppressed my sodium damage.”

“On hail and sand burn damaged cotton I applied 4 oz of RENEW. The plants healed and I got the same yield as my undamaged cotton.”
