Cotton Management Expert System Software |
|
|
|
COTMAN uses cotton crop monitoring techniques to summarize crop developmental status, detect stress, and assist with in-season and end of season management decisions. It was developed by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture with major financial support from Cotton Incorporated and through collaboration with colleagues at Mississippi State University, Louisiana State University, Texas A & M University, Virginia Tech and Arkansas State University. COTMANs are to promote earliness and plant vigor, and to reduce late-season insecticide applications. The 2008 version of COTMAN III for Windows software shipped in late spring.

The COTMAN computer software makes it easy to enter and generate the reports used to make management decisions. It is divided into two parts: SQUAREMAN is used to monitor crop development up to time of first flowers. Reports provide feedback on square retention and plant stress.BOLLMAN is used when the crop is flowering to monitor boll-loading stress and to assist with end-of-season crop termination decisions. BOLLMAN utilizes NAWF data. A non-computer version of BOLLMAN is available. |
