Here is what AI (ChatGPT) is predicting for the invasive two-spot cotton leafhopper (cotton jassis) in South Carolina this season. It is basically predicting a repeat of 2025, with jassid populations building in blooming cotton and not being an issue prebloom. We will see.
Join Ph.D. student Caitlyn Lawton as she chats about her inspiring journey, the amazing research with the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station in the Wiregrass Research & Extension Center, and the vital role ag plays in shaping our future. 🌱
We are looking to better understand the distribution and impacts of cotton jassid in Alabama in 2025.
If you are a farmer, consultant/scout, retailer, or anyone else that helps Alabama farmers with IPM decisions, please fill out this short survey.

The two spotted leafhopper (Jassid) is occurring at economic levels in some fields in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. This pest has the potential to be the greatest economic problem since the boll weevil. Many questions remain, only time will tell.
