Wen, Yujin (2012-10-19)The urban water demand in Southwest Texas has grown rapidly in recent years due to the population increases in urban areas, which caused conflict between municipal and agricultural water use. Deficit irrigation is one ...
-
Carden, Charles Warren (2010-10-12)Low photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) during certain growth periods of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has been shown to impact yield, ethylene synthesis, and fiber quality. Previous research with shading has shown ...
-
Ragsdale, Paul Irwin (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A diallel analysis of eight upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes was conducted in the field over two years to determine the potential for improvement in within-boll seed yield components and fiber quality ...
-
Chen, Yuan (2013-05-06)Many environmental stress factors have been identified that increase square and boll abscission and thus result in reduced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield. Under stress conditions, ethylene, an endogenous hormone, is ...
-
Yang, Chwen-Ming (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Effects of high temperature upon photosynthesis, respiration, and growth and yield of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) were studied under controlled environments. Photosynthesis and respiration were determined by the CO2 ...
-
Hundley, Christopher Alan (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Genetically modified cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) acreage has increased dramatically over the last six years. Reports of variable results in fiber quality and yield have arisen in these cultivars. Some changes in ...
-
McGuire, Cy Christopher (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Pesticides comprise a large portion of production inputs in cotton. Reducing or enhancing their efficacy presents an avenue to increase profit. Pesticides containing both insecticidal and growth enhancing properties may ...
-
Geiger, David William (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The recommended procedures for implementing COTMAN; a cotton management expert system; suggest frequent crop scouting at numerous locations for each field. Machine based height sensors coupled with the ability to spatially ...
-
Ng, Eng Hwa (2013-05-29)Fiber elongation (ability to stretch before breaking) is one of the key components in determining overall yarn quality. Elongation in U.S. upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.) has remained largely neglected due to: absence of ...
-
Edwards, Melanie Love (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)One major problem facing maize producers in the southern US is contamination with the mycotoxin aflatoxin, produced by Aspergillus flavus (Link:fr). Aflatoxin is a serious threat to human and animal health, with no ...
-
Whitcher, Carrie Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Adolescence is marked with many changes in the development of higher order thinking skills. As students enter high school they are expected to utilize these skills to solve problems, become abstract thinkers, and contribute ...
-
Rounds, Elliott Wilson (2009-05-15)Carbon flow into developing ovaries has been reported to be important in seed retention and seed size. Invertase, which cleaves sucrose into glucose and fructose has been shown to be important in rapidly expanding tissue, ...

Dillon, Carl R.; Mjelde, James W.; McCarl, Bruce A.; Cothren, J. Tom; Martin, J. Rod; Rister, M. Edward; Stockle, Claudio (Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1990)
-
Bynum, Joshua Brian (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The timing of harvest aid application on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is critical, and poses potential problems when mistimed. The consequences of premature harvest aid application could result in reduced profit to the ...
-
Clawson, Ernest Leslie (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a production system using high plant populations in reduced row spacings. The responses of this production system to nitrogen fertilizer have not been fully ...
-
Bader, Raymond Francisco (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The effects of mepiquat chloride (1,1 dimethyl piperidinium chloride), applied at three different stages of crop development, were evaluated on cotton cultivars of differing growth habit and determinacy (TAMCOT CAMD-E and ...
-
Teague, Tina Gray (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)When high inputs of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation are used in cotton production, variation in quantity and quality of the crop as food for insect herbivores can result. Field studies were conducted in 1983-85 to ...
-
Chittoori, Ratnaprabha 1982- (2012-11-28)Rice (Oryza sativa L.) supports half of the human population. However, predominant rice consumption leads to malnutrition due to mineral deficiencies. The research goal was to support identification of genes responsible ...

Stabile, Marcelo de Castro Chaves (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The use of site-specific data can enhance management decisions in the field. Three different uses of site-specific data were evaluated and their outcomes are promising. Historical yield data from yield monitors and height ...
