Automation of a Wireless Cotton Module Tracking System for Cotton Fiber Quality Mapping
(2010-10-12)
The ability to map the profit made across a cotton field would enable producers to see in
detail where money is being made or lost on their farms. This ability, which requires sitespecific
knowledge of yield, fiber quality, ...
Structural Changes in United States Cotton Supply
(2010-10-12)
Agricultural supply represents the quantity supplied for a given price of a commodity. The supply function is an algebraic representation that shows, in this case, how much yield and acreage output changes from variations ...
Advancement of cotton (Gossypium) radiation hybrid mapping tools
(2009-05-15)
The assembly of a robust structural genomics system requires the development and
integration of multiple types of genome maps. This research focused on the
development of a relatively new means of plant genome mapping, ...
Evaluation of water production in tight gas sands in the Cotton Valley formation in the Caspiana, Elm Grove and Frierson fields
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Normally in tight gas sands, water production is not a problem but in such low
permeability reservoirs it is difficult to produce gas at commercial flow rates. Since
water is more viscous than gas, very little water is ...
Planting density effects on lint yield and quality of three stacked gene cotton cultivars
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The increased cost of planting transgenic or stacked gene cotton cultivars has
stimulated interest in determining the optimal planting density for commercial
production. If seeding rates can be reduced without adversely ...
The efficiency of the U.S. cotton futures market (1986-2006): normal backwardation, co-integration, and asset pricing
(2009-06-02)
The efficiency of commodity futures markets is a widely debated topic in
academia. The cotton futures market is no exception. The existence of trends in the
futures market is characterized as a price bias, which is a ...
Host plant resistance to Whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), Biotype B, (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in cotton race stocks for breeding improved cotton cultivars
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Biotype B, Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) are pests of cotton crops, affecting the yield of the crop both indirectly and directly. These pests feed on the leaves of cotton plants and produce "honeydew," ...
Developing and Testing a Trafficability Index for Planting Corn and Cotton in the Texas Blackland Prairie
(2010-07-14)
The Texas Blackland Prairie is one of the most productive agricultural regions in
Texas. This region provides a long growing season coupled with soils that have a high
water holding capacity. However, the soils also provide ...
Root Morphology of Drought Resistance in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2011-02-22)
A combination of root morphology and plant physiology with drought/or salt tolerance should affect drought resistance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). This experiment was developed to evaluate early vegetative and seedling ...
Evaluation of PGR properties of TRIMAX in cotton
(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 ...
