Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Maximum temperatures during fruit development exceeded the cotton optimum.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP increased seed cotton yield relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP increased lint yield relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP increased weight of bolls in the middle canopy.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP had no observed effect on cotton fruit abscission.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP lowered leaf glutathione reductase activity.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP showed no observed effect on leaf protein content.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP showed no observed effect on leaf malondialdehyde content.
- Recommendation The authors concluded foliar 1-MCP could improve yield by reducing plant stress.
