Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 75 g a.i./ha significantly reduced plant height of cotton compared with control and de-topping.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 75 g a.i./ha gave significantly the highest seed cotton yield and monetary returns compared with de-topping.
- Intervention effect A 25% increase in recommended nitrogen dose significantly increased sympods per plant, bolls per plant and seed cotton yield in high-density cotton.
- Intervention effect A 25% increase in recommended nitrogen dose significantly increased nitrogen use efficiency and monetary returns in high-density cotton.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 20 g a.i./ha once and twice reduced plant height of cotton compared with control.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 20 g a.i./ha once and twice significantly increased sympods and bolls per plant compared with control.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 20 g a.i./ha once and twice gave significantly higher seed cotton yield than control.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride treatments significantly increased nitrogen use efficiency and monetary returns compared with control.
- Recommendation Mepiquat chloride at 75 g a.i./ha in two or three splits on Bt hybrid cotton at normal density, and 20-40 g a.i./ha on non-Bt compact cotton at high density, improve crop productivity and profitability.
