Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Each deep tillage increased cotton lint yield by about 12 per cent in the first season.
- Intervention effect Combined deep ripping and deep ploughing increased cotton lint yield by 17 per cent in the second season.
- Intervention effect Precision ripping did not influence cotton yield.
- Intervention effect Gypsum increased cotton yield by 16 per cent in 1966.
- Intervention effect Gypsum increased cotton yield by 34 per cent in 1967.
- Intervention effect Organic matter had no effect on cotton yield.
- Association Higher cotton yields came from more and larger bolls, taller and more vigorous plants, and more main stem nodes.
- Intervention effect Tillage and ameliorant treatments did not interact significantly on cotton plant growth and yield.
- Intervention effect Deep tillage produced finer, longer, and more elastic cotton fibres than control.
- Intervention effect Gypsum produced finer, longer, and more elastic cotton fibres than control.
- Intervention effect Gypsum increased cotton seedling establishment.
