Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Lowest-rate foliar boron raised leaf blade B concentration from 25 to 70 mg/kg in 1991.
- Intervention effect Lowest-rate foliar boron raised leaf blade B concentration from 54 to 108 mg/kg in 1992.
- Intervention effect The highest foliar boron rate gave a leaf blade B concentration of 154 mg/kg in 1992.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied boron did not alter leaf blade B concentration in 1991.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied boron slightly increased leaf blade B concentration in 1992, from 54 to 71 mg/kg.
- Intervention effect Soil or foliar boron applications did not affect boll retention percentage, flower number or lint yield in either year.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron applications in 1992 increased the percentage of fruit on monopodial branches.
- Intervention effect Supplemental boron did not greatly affect fiber properties in either year.
- Intervention effect Supplemental boron increased fiber micronaire reading of Deltapine 20 in 1992.
- Recommendation Modern cotton cultivars may not always need supplemental boron when soil B is moderately low.
- Observation Soil B concentrations were higher in midseason than in the preplant period.
