e0“Two field experiments were conducted at El-Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, Egypt in 2018 and 2019 seasons to study the physiological effects of benzyl adenine (BA) on growth, boll setting and productivity of cotton plant cv. Giza 86”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Three BA sprays increased estimated elements and photosynthetic pigments in cotton leaves in the 2018 season.
- Intervention effect Three BA sprays increased cotton growth traits, except number of fruiting branches.
- Intervention effect Two BA sprays significantly increased the number of fruiting branches of cotton in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Two BA sprays significantly increased earliness measurements of cotton in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Two BA sprays decreased boll shedding percentage in cotton in both seasons.
- Intervention effect BA at 40 ppm significantly increased fruiting branches, total bolls and open bolls per plant compared with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect BA at 40 ppm significantly increased percentages of boll setting and earliness compared with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect BA at 40 ppm significantly increased seed cotton yield per feddan compared with the other treatments.
- Intervention effect The high BA level significantly increased elements content and photosynthetic pigments of cotton leaves in the 2018 season.
- Intervention effect The high BA level significantly increased cotton growth traits, except fruiting branches.
- Association The control treatment sprayed with tap water had a significant increase in boll shedding percentage in cotton.
- Intervention effect Fiber traits of cotton were not significantly affected by the two factors studied or their interactions.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that spraying BA at 40 ppm two times under El-Gemmeiza conditions reduces undesirable shedding and increases boll setting and cotton productivity.
