Cotton Production
Cotton production information is provided to help growers with profitable and environmental crop production. Clemson University faculty and staff work together to provide environmental-specific information to the growers of South Carolina and surrounding areas. From the research done on campus and in fields across the state at the Research and Education Centers, to the Extension Agents on farm calls, Clemson University employees work hard to be on the cutting edge of agronomic research to provide the most accurate data and support to South Carolinians.

Examine all alternatives to determine the most profitable cotton practices for the farm. The following recommendations are suggested as a guide for 2019.
