Subject: Cotton and freezing weather?


NW Mississippi
Our cotton is about 3 weeks late this year due to a cool, wet spring and cloudy cool conditions this fall. Most of our cotton ready to pick or picked.
I am worried about the last that we defoliated because the forecast calls for lows around freezing monday and tuesday nights and frost. We hit it on the 20th so tomorrow will be one week since defoliated.
I looked at it yesterday and it still has a decent amount of leaves left on it and a lot of bolls yet to open. We put out Adios (generic ginstar?) and finish both at 1/20. If it frosts, or gets at or below freezing, should I kiss those bolls goodbye or will they open? It is supposed to warm up again by thursday.
