Thanks for weighing in! The protection is great to have when needed… otherwise it is just expensive!

The Topguard has to go down at planting, but there can not be any rain on the freshly planted seed and Topguard or the vigor of the seed is affected. So on the farms with heavy Root Rot, timing is now not just important, but it can mean the difference in the cotton coming up or having to replant the entire field. Trust us, we speak from experience on this one! A nice rain on freshly planted cotton is usually welcomed out here next to the Chihuahuan Desert. But now, that same rain can mean disaster.
