Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect At 51 000 plants ha–1 cotton lint yield increased 61.3% in 2012 versus 15 000 plants ha–1.
- Intervention effect At 87 000 plants ha–1 cotton lint yield increased 65.3% in 2012 versus low density.
- Intervention effect At 51 000 plants ha–1 cotton lint yield increased 17.8% in 2013 versus low density.
- Intervention effect At 87 000 plants ha–1 cotton lint yield increased 15.5% in 2013 versus low density.
- Intervention effect Lint yield did not differ significantly between cotton densities of 51 000 and 87 000 plants ha–1.
- Intervention effect Cotton boll density increased as plant density rose.
- Intervention effect Cotton boll weight decreased as plant density rose.
- Intervention effect Cotton lint percentage did not change significantly with density in 2013.
- Intervention effect Cotton boll numbers in upper nodes and distal fruiting positions rose as density decreased.
- Intervention effect Cotton seeds per boll, seed area and seed vigor index rose as density decreased.
- Observation Cotton seed area was greater from the locule base to middle than at the apex.
- Intervention effect Cotton mote frequency increased with plant density.
- Observation Cotton fiber quality was best at the locule middle regardless of density.
- Recommendation The authors suggest adjusting cotton density to produce more seeds and greater seed area as a way to improve lint yield.
