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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Phenotypic Evaluation of 61 Mutated Lines of TAM 94L-25
(2011-02-22)
Among the available methods of creating selectable variation, induced mutagenesis has been historically under-utilized in cotton improvement. Dick Auld showed that chemical mutagenesis could be used to enhance fiber length ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cotton Response to 1-Methylcyclopropene Under Different Light Regimes and Growth Stages: Lint Yield and Yield Components
(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 ...
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 ...
