PMN Launches Cotton Extension Search

To help make cotton extension information more easily available for growers and consultants, Cotton Incorporated and the Plant Management Network have developed the Cotton Extension Search, a tool that targets cotton-specific information from the extension sites of America's 17 cotton-producing states. Users can use general search terms, such as 'weeds' or 'irrigation', or cotton-specific ones. In either case, an array of cotton information will appear. Try the Cotton Extension Search today! It is located in 'Focus on Cotton' just below the "Educational Webcasts" section.
