Abstract:
... Revised irrigation demands are calculated for the 21 northernmost counties in Texas, identified as Region A, using the TAMA (Texas A&M-Amarillo) agricultural water use demand estimation model. Year 2000 demands are presented using the existing mixture of crops, average evapotranspiration values and actual irrigation application practice values. Current demand values are expected to exceed the allo ...

Abstract:
... The southeast, despite its abundant rainfall, suffers short-term summer droughts with detrimental effect on crop yield. No-till production systems provide added insurance against such conditions by improving infiltration, and conserving moisture in drought-prone soils. In three years of experiment near Watkinsville, GA, no-till cotton treatments maintained higher soil moisture content, more vegeta ...
... Cotton [Gossipium hirsutum (L.)] is a dominant crop in the Southeast. It is largely grown using conventional tillage and fertilizers. Georgia and bordering states produce about 42% of the poultry in the United States, but only a small percentage of the litter is utilized as fertilizer. We measured and compared cotton yield from conventional tillage (CT) and no-till (NT) plots fertilized either wit ...

Abstract:
... The results of experiments in germinating corn and cotton seeds in different types of soil, either with the seeds in direct contact with various fertilizers or with the same fertilizers mixed with the soil in which the seeds are planted, appear to indicate clearly the following effects of the fertilizers upon the germination and seedling growth of both types of crops. Germination is generally inhi ...
... Experiments were conducted in the greenhouse to study the rate of absorption of nitrate nitrogen by oats and cotton when applied as nitrate of soda at different stages of plant growth. The general plan of the experiment was to add nitrate to a series of cultures at a certain stage of growth. Then, at intervals of a few days, part of the cultures were harvested and the amount of nitrate absorbed wa ...

Abstract:
... The relative value of each element may be partially determined by its elimination from a complete fertilizer. A summary of the results secured from such treatments is presented in Table 4. Plats receiving ammonia and potash without phosphorus fruited slowly during the first part of the season and reached their peak late in the season. Phosphorus and potash in the absence of ammonia resulted in ear ...
... Four sets of crosses, A, B, C, and D, were made and carried through the second generation with back crossing on the two respective parental strains in each hybrid group. A condensed tabulation of the number of individuals in each population and the statistical constants for these groups are given in Table 7. The sets of curves differed in the amount of lint percentage that the parental strains wer ...
... Analyses were made to determine the potassium content of grown in soil, sand, and solution cultures which had received applications of different amounts of potassium. A theory for the utilization of potassium is developed from the data presented. The application of the theory to fertilizer practices is discussed. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. Plants absorb considerable more potassiu ...
... 1. Cotton plants were discovered which had smooth seeds and practically no lint. These plants are termed lintless. 2. The mode of inheritance of the lintless character was studied by means of progeny tests of lintless plants and hybrids between lintless and King, a variety with linted-fuzzy seeds and red-centered flowers. 3. Natural crossing is taken into consideration in the analysis of the resul ...
... The results of the study on the percentage of the motes made in 16 varieties grown in 1925 and 1926 justify the following conclusions: 1. The occurrence of motes in the commercial varieties of cotton studied was very common. In a study embracing two years, 1,323 plants were examined and only 2 failed to have any motes. 2. The percentage of motes occurring in the commercial varieties of cotton stud ...
... In a study of inheritance in G. hirsutum, no sterility, abnormal characters, or non-Mendelian segregations were observed in the F1 and F2 generations of crosses between standard and unimproved varieties. This is in contrast to the findings of several workers who made studies of the inheritance in crosses between G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. The characters naked seed and fuzzy-tip seed proved to ...
... The data in this paper have been taken from three sets of crosses, viz., the A crosses (Pima X Winesap), the B crosses (Pima X Upright), and the C cross (Winesap X Sea Island). These are three of the four sets of hybrids used in a previous study of lint percentage inheritance. In the former work, the first generation showed lowness of lint percentage to be intensified in the A crosses and complete ...
... There was a differential growth response of cotton and cowpea plants on certain soil types to which varying amounts of calcium arsenate were added. Knowing the response of these two widely different soil types to additions of calcium arsenate, it is possible to arrange some of the more important soils of the Piedmont section into groups according to their expected response to the additions of arse ...
... Four sets of crosses, viz., rust-colored lint X white, dingy brown-colored lint X white, yellowish brown-colored lint X white, and green-colored lint X white, were made and the progenies studied. The lint color of the F1 generation of each cross was an intergrade between that of the respective colored parent and the white parent. Thus, each of the four shades of lint color are incompletely dominan ...
... Six varieties of cotton representing early, medium, and late varieties were planted in 1928 on seven dates and in 1929 on four different dates. In 1930, three of these varieties were planted on three different dates. The Houston soils on which the plats were placed are very favorable to the root-rot as shown by the amount of disease found in crops preceding 1928 and the abundance of disease in the ...
... In order to elucidate this question an investigation in which cotton seedlings were used was conducted to study the following points: (1) The efficiency of different amounts of ammonium hydroxide and calcium nitrate in dilute nutrient solutions, and (2) the efficiency of ammonium hydroxide and calcium nitrate in nutrient solutions with various concentrations of other salts. ...
