Summary

This guide helps diagnose suspected off-target herbicide injury in cotton. It compares how common growth regulator herbicides can affect cotton and how symptoms may change over time, making field diagnosis challenging. Includes tips for documenting damage, checking patterns across a field, and ruling out other stresses. Also outlines questions to ask about recent applications, equipment, manure or carryover, and when lab residue testing may be useful.
