Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect At 60 ± 5% field capacity, lint yield decreased by 31 to 35%.
- Intervention effect At 45 ± 5% field capacity, lint yield decreased by 57 to 60%.
- Observation Drought altered yield distribution among fruiting branches.
- Intervention effect Drought plants had smaller bolls on higher branches.
- Observation Drought altered upper-branch boll biomass distribution and seed number per boll.
- Association Fiber length and strength declined as water availability decreased, especially on higher branches.
- Association Micronaire was greater on higher branches within a water regime.
- Observation Drought showed no consistent effect on micronaire.
- Association Boll weight declined about 0.7 g per MPa lower midday leaf water potential.
- Association Seed index declined about 1.0 g per MPa lower midday leaf water potential.
- Association Fiber length declined about 2.4 mm per MPa lower midday leaf water potential.
- Association Fiber strength declined about 3.4 cN tex –1 per MPa lower midday leaf water potential.
- Method / resource Leaf water potential was considered a suitable index for production fiber properties.
