Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium did not affect cotton yield in any year.
- Intervention effect Row spacing did not affect cotton yield in 2017, 2019 or 2020.
- Intervention effect In 2018 skip rows yielded 530 kg ha −1 lint versus 423 kg ha −1 for full rows.
- Intervention effect Skip rows significantly reduced vegetative biomass.
- Intervention effect Skip rows significantly reduced vegetative potassium uptake.
- Intervention effect Skip rows improved cotton fiber quality.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium increased vegetative nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium increased vegetative phosphorus uptake.
- Association Seed and vegetative biomass, nutrient uptake and lint quality differed among years, likely with rainfall.
- Observation Weather variation had more impact on cotton productivity than either treatment.
- Recommendation The authors considered skip rows viable for cotton producers in drought-prone regions.
