Inheritance of cotton fiber length and distribution
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fiber quality data from five upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes,
which were grown at College Station, TX during 2001 and 2002, were subjected to
diallel and generation means analyses to determine the potential ...
Effect of an upper temperature threshold on heat unit calculations, defoliation timing, lint yield, and fiber quality in cotton
(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 ...
Spatial application of a cotton growth model for analysis of site-specific irrigation in the Texas High Plains
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Limited water supplies for agriculture in the Texas High Plains will require new
irrigation technologies and techniques for agriculture to continue in this area. The
potential for using one such technology, site-specific ...
The effect of the semigamy (Se) mutant on the early development of cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
A stain-clearing method, which facilitated the analysis of large numbers of ovules, was developed using methyl salicylate (MS) and azure C, and used with real-time video imaging and image capture. The ability to modulate ...
Efficacy of abamectin as a seed treatment for control of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis on cotton
(2009-06-02)
Abamectin is a blend of B1a and B1b avermectins that is being used as a seed treatment to control plant-parasitic nematodes on cotton. Data on the toxicity of abamectin and its effectiveness as a seed treatment to control ...
Evaluation of chlorophyll fluorescence as a tool for the identification of drought tolerance in upland cotton
(2009-05-15)
A novel bioassay for the evaluation of plant water status was developed by Burke
(2007). The research reported herein was designed to evaluate this new protocol as a
tool for use in cotton breeding programs for the ...
The conjunctive use of saline irrigation water on deficit-irrigated cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is able to survive relatively large levels of both water and
salinity stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate cotton lint production and soil
salinization under a conjunctive use ...
Optimization of row spacing and nitrogen fertilization for cotton
(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 ...
Diallel analysis of within-boll seed yield components and fiber properties in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and breeding potential for heat tolerance
(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 ...
COMPARISON OF PICKER AND STRIPPER HARVESTERS ON IRRIGATED COTTON ON THE HIGH PLAINS OF TEXAS
(2010-01-16)
Over a fourth of the cotton produced in the US since 2002 has been produced in
Texas, with most coming from the High Plains. In recent years, Texas has accounted for
almost half of all US cotton production (USDA-NASS, ...
