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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
