First 2023 report of areolate mildew (Ramulariopsis) in Georgia’s cotton came yesterday from Bleckley Co. When this disease appears early enough during bloom period, judicious use of fungicides can increase lint yield by as much as 250 lb/A. UGA Extension

I think areolate mildew has showed up 7-10 days earlier than in 2022. Pay attention to the lower-to-middle canopy. Symptoms typically present on the leaf underside, but at least in MS we are seeing symptoms and signs of the fungus on the upper leaf #mscrops @CottonInc
