Praying Mantis ootheca is my guess. Any entomologists out there that can verify??

@OkieStotts Ozzy!! Sounding and looking good!

Have a few kinks to work out yet, but we rigged up our sprayer tractor for auto-steer (I’m using it for the first time ever today).

@Sgflint Seed dispersal mechanisms of weeds are fascinating to me…out here on the Plains of Texas, wind (tumbleweeds) and hitching a ride on animals (sandburs) are the primary modes of dispersal.

@hixsona Devils claw. As a weed science MS grad I had these in my office. The plant stinks! Very unique seed dispersal.

Weed science decor!! Seed dispersal mechanisms are so cool!

@hixsona @margemillss @Colew15 Oh so little ones….nice

Mega-Pigweeds!! ⁦@margemillss⁩ @Colew15 and team were doing most of the work…it’s the behind the scenes work of graduate students that doesn’t get noticed or recognized enough. Thanks for allowing me to join in on the fun today!

@BryanTheFarmer @margemillss @Colew15 Nah. We got plenty to go around!! Some of them had stumps that were easily over 3-4” in diameter

@hixsona @margemillss @Colew15 You need some more? Asking for a friend

Dang aphids are sucking the life out of our cantaloupes! Sefina insecticide to the rescue with plenty of ladybugs 🐞 helping the cause. ⁦@BASFAgProducts⁩

August 8, 2025 plainscotton.org/cn250808/ I strongly encourage EVERYONE in the cotton industry, from inputs dealer to apparel retailer, to read @PCGNews “From Ripples to Waves” and then go look in your closet. “It starts with us.” Great article Kara & PCG!

@tomrgregory @BASFAgProducts @txresearch These are research plots with Texas A&M Agrilife…An experimental residual herbicide (pending regulatory approval) was applied immediately after planting FiberMax Cotton with Axant Flex Trait Technology followed by Liberty ULTRA Herbicide + Outlook Herbicide applied early POST.

@hixsona @BASFAgProducts @txresearch What is the residual mix?

Strong 💪 residual herbicide programs in cotton during the first 40 days really shows in August! ⁦@BASFAgProducts⁩ ⁦@txresearch⁩
