e0“Bt-transgenic cotton plants with two different sowing dates were treated normally(CK),or by removing one(R1),two(R2) or three basal fruiting branches(R3)”
e7“For plants of the first sowing date,early fruiting branch removal significantly decreased the abscission and rotten boll rates and promoted seed yield over the two year period”
e1“the R1 and R2 treatments enhanced the seed cotton yield by 9.6% and 8.1%,respectively”

- Intervention effect Removal of early fruiting branches delayed the process of growth and development in cotton.
- Intervention effect Removing one basal fruiting branch (R1) gave no difference from CK in total number of fruiting branches.
- Intervention effect Removing two or three basal fruiting branches (R2 and R3) significantly lowered the total number of fruiting branches relative to CK.
- Intervention effect Early fruiting branch removal had no obvious effect on the total fruiting nodes.
- Intervention effect Early fruiting branch removal significantly increased the leaf area index (LAI) in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing one basal fruiting branch (R1) increased dry matter weight by 13.5% over CK in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing two basal fruiting branches (R2) increased dry matter weight by 17.5% over CK in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing three basal fruiting branches (R3) increased dry matter weight by 19.0% over CK in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing one basal fruiting branch (R1) decreased the abscission rate by 5.9% in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing two basal fruiting branches (R2) decreased the abscission rate by 6.4% in plants of the first sowing date.
- Intervention effect Removing three basal fruiting branches (R3) decreased the abscission rate by 9.5% in plants of the first sowing date.

- Intervention effect In plants of the second sowing date, early fruiting branch removal gave no significant yield increase.
- Intervention effect In plants of the second sowing date, some treatments even decreased yield.
- Intervention effect In plants of the second sowing date, early fruiting branch removal gave no significant difference in dry matter accumulation.
