Abstract:
... In two field experiments with cotton (Gossypium), the relation between moderate soil water depletion and leaf-air temperature difference (ΔT) was investigated for feasibility of measurement and possible use as a guide to irrigation scheduling. Hourly temperatures of the upper leaves and of the air 1 m above the canopy were obtained for three cultivars of short-staple cotton (G. hirsutum L.) and on ...

Abstract:
... The short-season concept (early defoliation and early harvest) offers, perhaps, the greatest potential for increasing the efficiency of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production and for minimizing insect control requirements in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Early defoliation also allows harvesting during the most optimum period in relation to expected rainfall. The fruiting, earliness, yie ...

Abstract:
... The herbicide, 3-6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba), dissipated most rapidly from water under non-sterile, lighted conditions. Pond sediment evidently contained microbial populations capable of decomposing the herbicide. Temperature was crucial in dicamba dissipation, especially in the presence of sediment. Influence of sediment on dissipation rate of dicamba was apparently augmented by light in s ...

Irrespective of cultivar used during the 2-year study, cotton produced on plots fal ...
