      Higgins, Lindsey Marie (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
      With increased pressures on todayÂ’s Federal Budget, there may be funding cuts on agriculture programs. These cuts would certainly bring about increased concern as to which programs and which crops take the biggest cut. A ...
    • Bronze Wilt of Cotton 
      Bell, Alois A.; Nichols, Robert L.; Lemon, Robert G. (2002-02-12)
      Bronze wilt is a disease of cotton characterized by bronze or red discoloration and wilting of leaves. This publication describes bronze wilt symptoms, the cause and epidemiology of the disease, the varieties in which it ...
    • Development of Systems to Improve Cotton Module Shape 
      Hardin, Robert Glen (2011-10-21)
      Properly constructed modules will prevent reduced lint value and increased ginning costs when significant rainfall occurs. Additionally, cotton producers often have difficulty finding adequate labor during harvest. These ...
    • Effect of an upper temperature threshold on heat unit calculations, defoliation timing, lint yield, and fiber quality in cotton 
      Fromme, Daniel D. (2009-05-15)
      Crop managers need to determine the most profitable time to defoliate cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in a high rainfall environment such as the coastal region of Texas. In cotton production, delaying defoliation exposes ...
    • Evaluation of PGR properties of TRIMAX in cotton 
      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 ...
    • Irrigation Water Quality 
      McFarland, Mark L.; Lemon, Robert G.; Stichler, Charles (2002-04-11)
      Irrigation water quality is determined by the total amounts of salts and the types of salts the water contains. In this publication you'll learn why well water can be salty, what problems salty water can cause, what tests ...
    • Managing Nitrogen Fertilizer in Cotton 
      Hons, F. M.; McFarland, Mark L.; Lemon, Robert G.; Nichols, Robert L.; Mazac Jr., F. J.; Boman, R. K.; Saladino, V. A.; Jahn, R. L.; Stapper, J. R. (2004-12-09)
      To be profitable, cotton producers must manage fertilization efficiently. This publication reports the results of a 5-year study that showed over-fertilization with nitrogen is a common problem. There are specific ...
    • Nodes above white flower and heat units as indicators of harvest aid timing 
      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 ...
    • Non-Traditional Soil Additives: Can They Improve Crop Production? 
      McFarland, Mark L.; Stichler, Charles; Lemon, Robert G. (2002-06-26)
      Non-traditional soil additives include soil conditioners such as organic materials and minerals, soil activators that claim to stimulate soil microbes or inoculate soil with new beneficial organisms, and wetting agents ...
    • Physiological applications for determining water use efficiency among cotton genotypes 
      Bynum, Joshua Brian (2009-05-15)
      Drought stress can substantially alter plant metabolism by decreasing plant growth and photosynthesis. The lack of rapid and reliable screening criteria and measurement techniques for determining water use efficiency (WUE) ...
    • Production of Virginia Peanuts in the Rolling Plains and Southern High Plains of Texas 
      Lemon, Robert G.; Lee, Thomas A. (1995-08-01)
      Cultural practices such as crop rotation, maintaining plant nutrition, irrigation management and disease management are crucial for the successful production of Virginia peanuts. This publications describes these and other ...
