Screening upland cotton for resistance to cotton fleahopper (Heteroptera: Miridae)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crop maturity is delayed by cotton fleahopper (Pseudatomoscelis seriatus Reuter) (fleahopper) feeding on early-season fruit forms which increases vulnerability to late-season pests such as ...
Mitigating cotton revenue risk through irrigation, insurance, and/or hedging
(2009-05-15)
Texas is the leading U.S. producer of cotton, and the U.S. is the largest international
market supplier of cotton. Risks and uncertainties plague Texas cotton producers with
unpredictable weather, insects, diseases, and ...
Development of a screening method for drought tolerance in cotton seedlings
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The key to an efficient screening method is the ability to screen large amounts of
plant material in the shortest time possible. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of
drought tolerance, a quick and effective screen for ...
An empirical simulation analysis on cotton marketing strategies in west Texas
(2009-05-15)
The three marketing strategies, buying a put option, cash sale at harvest, and cash sale in
June after December harvest, are simulated for six representative irrigated and dryland
cotton farms in West Texas. Each marketing ...
Viscoelastic properties of seed cotton and their effect on module shape and density
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Modules for cotton storage and transport should be constructed with a shape that will resist collecting water to maintain the quality of seed cotton during storage. Meeting this specification requires knowledge of the ...
A study of programmed cell death in cotton (gosypium hirsutum) fiber
(2009-05-15)
Cotton fiber has been postulated to undergo a process of programmed cell death (PCD) during the maturation phase of development. A parallel may exist between cotton fibers and xylem tracheary elements, which have periods ...
Evaluation of organophosphate insecticides on performance of transgenic and conventional cotton
(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 ...
Management effects on labile organic carbon pools
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
It is well documented that increases in soil organic matter (SOM) improve soil
physical properties and increase the overall fertility and sustainability of the soil.
Research in SOM storage has recently amplified following ...
Factors determining the adoption or non-adoption of precision agriculture by producers across the cotton belt
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing cotton producer
adoption of Precision Agriculture in the cotton belt according to members of the
American Cotton Producers of the National Cotton Council.
The ...
Site-specific strategies for cotton management
(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 ...
