Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Chemical topping significantly lowered plant height, fruiting branch number and upper fruiting branch length relative to non-topping.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content of cotton under chemical topping was not significantly different from non-topping.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content of cotton under chemical topping was higher than under manual topping in the later season.
- Intervention effect Chemical topping reduced endogenous gibberellic acid and abscisic acid contents in cotton.
- Intervention effect Chemical topping inhibited apical development of the main stem in cotton.
- Intervention effect Chemical topping significantly increased the biomass of the vegetative parts compared with manual topping.
- Intervention effect Yield and fibre quality did not differ significantly between manual and chemical topping.
- Recommendation Chemical topping can be utilized as an alternative topping method in the Yellow River Valley.
